No. 7 Bilgola 

Another popular beach in the Northern beaches area, just north of Sydney which is exposed to the full force of the Tasman Sea. The plastic here was quite mixed, comprising packaging, drinking straws, small pieces of plastic and a fishing lure. One piece of plastic bag appeared to have been chewed possibly by a turtle. I decided to collect the plastic litter here and the final photo shows the collection. What is not shown are the small pieces of micro plastics, which are almost impossible to collect.
