About this image

DescriptionHUNDREDS TURN OUT to clean up Greymouth beach.
Huge seas whipped up by cyclone Fehi ate away at the old Cobden dump site, scattering tens of thousands of plastic bags across the coast. Volunteers filled 300 rubbish sacks, most of it with decades-old plastic. "We saw lots of old plastic items, things from stores that do not exist anymore" Mayor Tony Kokshoorn said.Date of Photo2018Map^[1]ContributorTony Kokshoorn
