Overview
- Volunteers on Selsey beach report extensive insulation foam and plastic, filling hundreds of bags while largely leaving unwrapped bananas in place.
- Authorities say eleven of the sixteen containers have been found along the Sussex coast, including seven at Selsey, two at Pagham Harbour and two at Bognor.
- Ambipar has begun shoreline assessments, waste collection and transport to a designated site, with skips deployed in Bognor Regis and Selsey and safety warnings over sharp metal.
- The coastguard says perishable goods may now be taken from beaches, though locals are advised that washed-up fruit may be unfit to eat and to discard any already taken home.
- Associated British Ports has restricted the Southampton shipping channel to one-way traffic, a measure that continues and is causing delays.
