It looks like a straw. Being desperately clutched.
Does it have a bra strap and is it on a slope?
Steve Feltham, the man who gave up everything to live by the loch and find evidence of the monster now believes it's most likely a monster Wels catfish. He thinks they were introduced by the Victorians which would explain the later sightings at a peak growth cycle in the twenties and thirties.

Case closed?
I was under the impression that there weren't too many, although I am remembering 1970's stats so things could have changed drastically.Are there any fish in the loch anyway?

Must be a little chilly for reptiles in recent years.
Was Nessie just the invention of a boozy London pub lunch by hoteliers keen to drum up custom for Scottish hotels?
- The monster was invented as a PR stunt by consultant DG Gerahty
- He dreamed up the idea whilst having a drink in a pub in London
- Claims made by academic who said monster was designed to improve tourism in north-east Scotland
The much loved and mysterious Loch Ness monster may have been invented by a cunning British public relations consultant, who dreamed up the idea of the creature in a London pub.
The claims were made in a new book which suggests the story of the monster was started to encourage people to visit the Scottish Highland following the difficult years of the Great Depression.
The monster was invented by DG Gerahty, who was recruited by several Scottish hotels to improve the area's tourism, claimed Professor Gareth Williams.
The emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Bristol and science historian suggested that the £30 million tourism trade generated from visitors going to the Loch Ness is built on a PR trick.
Professor Williams suggested that the answer to the story behind the monster may lie in a short extract from a semi-autobiographical novel called Marise.
etc....
From what I know, there does seem to have been a lack of Nessie sightings betwern St Columbo and the 1800s.
