Every weekend volunteers visit Versova beach in a movement inspired by lawyer Afroz Shah called "Sky Ocean Rescue".

"This beach laps the plastic up," Shah told Sky News.

"It acts like a net. You must pick it up or the next high tide will take it out and it will never come back. Then it harms marine life."
