Nous avions balisé la plage afin de répartir des groupes sur des zones prédéfinies pour élargir notre champ d'action. Cette plage fait souvent l'objet de collecte et pourtant, nous avons été surpris de la quantité de déchets ramassés. Certains chiffres sont approximatifs car nous n'avons pas pu compter les déchets tellement ils étaient nombreux (fragments sacs plastiques et cordelettes de pêche) d'où le nombre 1000 enregistré. |
