Beach cleaner locates and recovers France – one of the seven tracking devices monitoring how plastic moves across the ocean
On the morning of August 17th, France became the sixth of our seven tracking devices released during the UK G7 Summit to beach on shore. Having narrowly avoided the French coast for a number of days, it finally beached on the North West Coast of Guernsey.
