Islander Diane Wachter was taking photos at Crescent Beach when she noticed that much of the sand beneath her feet was covered in garbage – primarily plastic litter. She saw Airsoft pellets, plastic cigarette filters, sand shovel, Game Boy cartridge, balloons, shotgun shell casing, plastic lids, food wrapper, tennis ball, plastic bottles, rope, cans, tampon applicators, and a lot of small plastic pieces – just to name a few.
