Motion text
That this House notes with concern the pollution incident after a cargo ship lost 16 shipping containers on the Solent, affecting a stretch of coastline from the Witterings to Bognor Regis; further notes that the sheer volume of bananas, avocados, alongside plastic, foam insulation and metal has caused concern for wildlife, users of the beaches and sites of special scientific interest, such as Pagham Harbour; expresses its sincere thanks to hundreds of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to clear the debris from the beach; notes that the co-ordination of volunteers in Selsey was led by the Selsey Beach Litter Ninjas; and calls on the cargo ship company and the environmental waste management company to make a financial donation to charitable causes in the Selsey area to acknowledge the support of the community.
