There was a report last year that 'blamed' fishermen (and anglers) for beach litter. I forget the figure given, but it was a very low percentage. According to this article, the general public contribute 42 percent, so where does the rest come from?

About a 100 people are expected to head for a three-mile stretch of the Norfolk coastline at the weekend to clean up chip forks, lobster potsand plastic bottles.



“These are beautiful beaches but in some areas there is so much litter you can hardly see the sand.”



i'll take the lobster pots off their hands. And plerrrrrlease, the last sentence, yer right.
