In other coastal areas they are exposed to the open sea and ocean currents which can wash things away. Here, we are in a confined area where things can slosh around a long time and then wash up somewhere visible.bigskygal wrote:With all of the people who die the world over in plane crashes into water and various sinkings of ferries and refuge vessels, I should think there would be lots more sneaker-clad feet washing ashore in various places (on the theory of buoyancy and ankle-rotting).
