A petition calling for Eastchurch Gap to be cleared has been launched

Transcript

00:00So we've seen pictures from, say, several months ago where there's tyres and other kind

00:22of waste on the seafront. We sent a drone over a few weeks ago and there's none there.

00:28Where has that waste gone? It's gone out into the sea. It has precious salt marsh habitats,

00:33there's seagrass, which the birds are feeding on, and that's kind of

00:38impacting that habitat. The birds will be feeding on microplastics that's

00:42working its way into their ecosystem. It's also washing up on the beaches,

00:46so it's impacting the local community as well. So we would support a clean-up of East Church Gap

00:51and we would say anyone out there who's concerned about it to log on and sign the petition.
