Planning a day at the beach? Always:
☀️ Check tide times & keep a look out for an incoming tide
☀️ If walking along the beach, make sure you have enough time to return to land safely
☀️ Carry a phone on you so you can call for help
Really Looking forward to these events with CuriousAgenda.
All plastics found in the environment have a story.

Discover possible local solutions and community actions to our global environmental pollution. Reduce, re-use, repair, refill and more with activities, discussion and information from local organisations. #environmentalpollution#reduce#reuse#repair#refill
The Strandliners team at work. Identifying and recording our environmental pollution is increasingly important.
We can lobby for change when we have the data. Everyone can take part.

Only a handful of govts are blocking progress on the global #plasticstreaty but failure will belong to everyone. With just a few hours to go, we need @ShintaroIto205 @s_guilbeault@Teresaribera @State_E @SteffiLemke @BjellandEriksen to speak up for tackling plastic production.
The Strandliners team are very happy to be part of the #oceansymposium organised by the @UNAClimateandOceans @SussexWildlife @CommunitySupporters

We also record #BioBeads (waste water treatment media used predominantly by water companies to clean our water). There have been catastrophic losses in the UK in the billions since 2010.
