We're championing a shift from a single-use society to one which repairs, reuses and refills, where nothing is leaked into the ocean
The data our volunteers collect is a vital part in helping to make this happen. If you'd like to help, find out more: www.mcsuk.org/beachwatch/

Cut my toe on the ladder at the pontoon, so I do hope Beachwatch were correct with their 'good' rating for swimming today! Have used Savlon, will let you know if toe falls off.
