Is this one of the reasons why we are finding oiled seabirds at the moment?
This container has been pulled up above the high tide mark and reported to the authorities to investigate this morning.
East Sussex WRAS is urging all sea faring vessels to ensure such containers are kept secure on vessels whilst at sea to ensure environmental damage is avoided. The recent spate of oiled seabirds along the Kent and Sussex coastline is continuing with two more found yesterday - one at Birling Gap and one at Peacehaven - both now in care.
Please continue to keep you eyes open for any seabirds covered in oil. Please help support our charity by making a donation today to fund our vital rescue service. www.wildlifeambulance.orgReg Charity 1108880
