I live on an ocean front property in Nova Scotia, and spend an inordinate amount of time at the waters edge. And there is massive amounts of plastic washing up, and a lot of it is not from here, its mericun plastic. The major current (gulf stream) brings it from the US, everything, and I mean everything that will float, and some that doesn't. I have a growing collection, of, hats, just the nice ones mind, and as anything that has spent days, weeks ,or years in the ocean, is more ir less sterilised, I am happy to keep, pass on, or use.My favorite pillow case, which started of as a lucky find, used to bring MORE, treasures home is just one thing amongst many. That does not mean that I dont find eagle feathers, agates, fossils, perfect walking sticks stripped, sharpened, and lost by beavers, but there is a lot of plastic and sundry junk. Some of the plastic is admitedly beautiful, fragments of lost toys, polished and worn smooth by the wind, waves, and sand. And historical plastic, mint shape, that must have been dumped, burried somewhere and then floated anew, and washing up now.
