This section had on one side beach and on the other lawn. Beach season is over, the litter left is mostly small stuff , half buried in the sand. Though under the few trees where bikes are parked there was more litter. The lawn was scattered with plastic protection sleeves for straws, forgotten by the audience cheering on the runners participating in the Long Boat race, held in the morning.

 Found on the lawn a plastic protection sleeve for a straw. Time to degrade 100 years?
