Pristine beaches?

Despite the picture postcards, the pristine white coral sands of the Maldive beaches are not always *ahem* pristine!

A lot of building crap, food scraps, and assorted stuff gets washed up or dumped on the shoreline. This happened more on one section of the island than the rest (the nicer-room side was cleaner, but perhaps it was just tidal / current actions?). Hmm... considering wages, and considering what prices are charged, we thought a regular clean-up crew wouldn't have been a financial burden, but everyone has their own standards, right?
