Sea balls are balls of fibrous marine material recorded from the seashore. They vary in size but are all tightly packed balls of up to 7 cm in size. They may occur in hundreds and are composed of plant material probably Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link along with pieces of plastic, pebbles and sand all rolled together into a ball. Recent records are from Dingle Bay in Ireland.[1]
