Had a clean-up of Coral Beach [Tung Wan Tsai], Cheung Chau, on 21 June. Below are some photos, plus video, from the event – when a great team of volunteers arrived, made fair impact, yet still left much to do. "It was like trying to clean up a landfill," one of the participants told me!

No shortage of lap sap as we began! Indeed, the tideline was far from the worst area; most rubbish was at the top of the beach, and strewn among vegetation just above the sand.
Loads of bags filled, mostly with polystyrene; govt Food n Hygiene Dept later sent a boat to collect the bags.
Even so, plenty of rubbish remained on the beach; more would arrive, esp with easterles.
More clean-ups likely; but also need less lap sap in the sea – inc less dumping of polystyrene boxes used by fishermen and others.
Here’s some video I took:
