Overview
- Locals reported blankets of fries up to about 2 to 2.5 feet deep at Falling Sands near Beachy Head after the latest wash-up on Saturday.
- The debris is linked to cargo containers lost from ships in recent weeks, with earlier beach finds including onions, garlic and tins of milk, and parts of a container seen on the shore.
- East Sussex County Council advised residents to take precautions, including keeping dogs on leads due to potentially harmful items on the shoreline.
- Volunteers organized via social media and Eastbourne council staff have been deployed to clear plastic bags and other packaging from the beach.
- HM Coastguard conducted aerial searches for additional lost cargo and reported no further containers spotted offshore.
