Will Cyclone Mocha blow recycled plastic into the sea?

Volunteers have helped collect plastic waste from the sea and stored them in sacks near the jetty at St Martin’s Island for a long time. But, as they were not removed, there is concern that the tidal surge caused by Cyclone Mocha will pull the waste back into the sea.

Many volunteer organisations clean up plastic waste on St Martin’s Island to protect the environment ahead of tourism season. These groups often take the waste with them, but others leave them by the pier. photo: Sharif Sarwar

During tourism season there is more litter from tourists at St Martin’s Island and more waste comes in with the ocean tide. Several volunteer organisations work to clean up the waste, but several sacks of garbage have been left near the pier this year. photo: Sharif Sarwar

Several of the sacks of plastic waste left next to the pier at St Martin’s Island have been there for an extended period of time and have been torn. There is concern that if there is a significant natural disaster in the area, like the coming Cyclone Mocha, the waste may be washed out to sea once more. photo: Sharif Sarwar
