Plastic soup (Larus fuscus)

Every morning the beach of Agadir is covered with plastic, and every morning a small army of men come down to the beach to 'clean up' the bigger pieces. The Gulls are rummaging, picking up what seems edible.

I traveled a lot in my younger years. The dimension of waste I saw on natural beaches around this globe is horrible. They use the oceans to dilute their toxic waste and as trash bin for any kind of other waste.

Such an interesting picture Ann. It's so nice to know that the local people keep the beaches clear of our rubbish.

Many thanks for sharing this picture with us lass. A great title too.
