'What you see here is just the tip of the iceberg' Life-size seal sculpture created out of rubbish cleared from Essex beach
Poly was made entirely of rubbish collected by litter pickers from the local beach.She said most of the beach waste was plastic - including a toy dinosaur, a Barbie doll leg, crisp packets, cotton buds - and some items which were more than 20 years old."I was pleased that we found very few plastic bottles, so the message about those may be getting through," she added.
The seal sculpture was part of the wildlife trust's Marine Awareness Week activities and will be taken to its other sites as well as to schools.
