A campaigner from Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) has set off to the Netherlands recently to return some shipping litter (hospital medical bags) that have been washing up on Cornish beaches to a Dutch Shipping company it is believed to have come from. The containers the medical bags were held in were part of a cargo being carried by the MV Endeavor ship that was travelling between Ireland and Spain. The boat reported meeting bad weather near the Isles of Scilly last December and as a result 11 containers were lost overboard, believed to contain the medical bags, pouched tobacco, doors, non-toxic fibres and milk powder.
SAS, with support from the Dutch surfing community will tomorrow deliver the litter, to shipping company JR Shipping in the northern Dutch town of Harlingen on the Waddenzee. It is part of a campaign run by SAS called Return To Offender.....Nice one lads (Editor) www.sas.org.uk/pr/2008/sennen-hospital-waste-1.php
