Aerial view of rubbish alone shoreline of Gulf of Carpentaria (Shore FID 8199, NESP TWQ 4.13)

This image shows bright blue pieces of rubbish, possibly ghost nets, along an otherwise pristine coastline. These have been washed up above the normal high water mark. Large pieces of rubbish are visible in the imagery collected to monitor status of mangroves along the shoreline. Rubbish of this size is thankfully relatively rare.

This image is near the mouth of a creek, and a sediment bank has built up in front of the beach. This bank is now being populated by mostly young mangrove trees.
