How does beach litter affect the environment?
Litter can affect the environment and our quality of life in many ways. Firstly, it looks unsightly and spoils everyone’s enjoyment of the coastal environment. More significantly it can cause harm to both humans and wildlife. Broken glass, discarded syringes and sewage can all injure humans or make them ill , whilst wildlife can become entangled in nets and line or ingest plastic pieces and other debris.
