Thousands of chip bags, their plastic containers intact, washed up along the shoreline at the foot of Beachy Head, near the coastal town of Eastbourne. The debris arranged in visible piles along the sand marked a sudden influx of western snack‐packaged waste on a previously undisturbed stretch of beach. The accumulation of those bags reflected the sea’s capacity to gather and deposit municipal litter far from its source, impacting a public space used by visitors and residents alike._2_ Volunteers gathered at the site early in the morning, forming teams to collect and bag the discarded snack packaging. The organized effort involved small groups moving systematically along the shore, gathering each plastic bag and transporting them to disposal units placed nearby. Their coordinated work ensured the removal of debris in a timely manner, mitigating potential hazards for both people and wildlife in the coastal area._3_ The cleaned beach now presents a clear, unblemished view of the sea, restoring its aesthetic and functional value for public use. The event demonstrates how community labor can counteract pollution carried by tides, offering a practical example of local environmental stewardship. Each bag removed lowers the risk of marine contamination and supports ecological resilience in the Surrey area. The incident underscores the ongoing need for public awareness and rapid response to marine litter, reinforcing the role of coordinated volunteerism in preserving shoreline resources.2310
