The tiny plastic pellets are hazardous to the environment and wildlife and are very difficult to clean up. A survey has now found a record number on beaches around the world and campaigners want new laws in place to help reduce spillages.
Joanna McFarlane says many of the nurdles on Limekilns shore have probably been there for decades"The question is who is responsible for those nurdles and why has no one been made accountable for those nurdles that are polluting our beaches and our communities right now""We want to ask why is no one accountable for this pollution on our beach we're living with everyday.
Following a fire on a ship off the coast of Sri Lanka in 2021, it's believed between 50 to 75 billion nurdles ended up in the sea - thought to be the world's worst spillage.Megan Kirton, project officer at FIDRA, told Sky News:"As well as just looking not very nice on a beach and smothering beaches in plastic, unfortunately a lot of nurdles are mistaken for food by a lot of marine animals.
