Had my eye on this fibreglass rowboat for 3+ years & decided today was the day! That's a bajillion microplastics -- we dragged it above the tideline & will go back to break it up for the dump 😁 #beachclean #CowalPeninsula #ArgyllScotland #FirthofClyde #theClyde

Largest buoy I've seen come ashore -- too big and heavy for me so contacted the Council. Not wanting it to get out into the shipping lanes or go on a wee wander around the globe 🌊
