When you get extra high tides from the moon and easterly stronger winds creating a surge- things beached begin to take to the water once again. Some things will waterlog and begin to sink forever.


The super high tides kind of clean the beaches off. And flushes much out to Davie Jones's Locker. Plastics and other man made crap just stay afloat until beached again.

Around here our sewage treatment plants have anti-gag bypasses in extreme rains. Meaning the sewers bypass the sewage treatment screening process and head into the tidal waters. But lately heavy rain is not an issue.

Obviously there is more. But that's how 90% end up floating by in water appears to be a mini gulf stream of scummy trash.
