What's being done about chips, bananas and onions washing up?

One East Sussex beach cleaner, Norman Warm, said there was "no end of material washing in, on top of the usual stuff we find".

"All the packaging is what we're concerned about, the synthetic materials, the plastic that's washing in," he told BBC Radio Sussex.

He said his group, BHASS Explore, has removed "ton bag after ton bag" of insulation foam and continued organising clean-ups.

Salvagers were working "around the clock" and paid by insurers to clear up material but volunteers "just run on good will", Warm said.
