Wildlife groups say they are “deeply concerned” about plastic pellets which have started washing up on beaches following the collision between a tanker and a container ship in the North Sea, stressing it is now a “real race against time”.
The nurdles, which have begun appearing on the northern coast of Norfolk and other areas around The Wash, are thought to have been released when the container ship Solong collided with the fuel tanker Stena Immaculate off the coast of East Yorkshire a week ago.
