Less than 24 hours after the Delaware Coastal Cleanup, several coastal communities reported significant amounts of debris, mostly plastic but also including medical waste such as disposable syringes, had washed ashore. Debris continued to reach the coast at Slaughter and Broadkill beaches and was also reported at other sites.
The trash is believed to be following a southerly flow pattern that began Sept. 18 and is attributable to recent heavy rainfall that led to flooding, as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
