Nurdles in the sea – Nim Shue Wan, Lantau, Hong Kong on 31 July 2012

Loose Nurdles from broken bags from the Typhoon Vicente Nurdle spill are forming in debris patches in the sea, such as this patch which formed along the shoreline at the high tide at Nim Shue Wan, Lantau, Hong Kong on 31 July 2012. Some of these Nurdles will be re-deposited along the shoreline as the tide recedes, whilst others will be swept out to sea.
