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

[Strandliners @StrandlinersCIC]

Really Looking forward to these events with CuriousAgenda.
All plastics found in the environment have a story.
What stories will we find...

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

[Strandliners @StrandlinersCIC]

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
Let’s talk, discuss and leave enthused for the future.

We've since discovered that these 'mystery objects' are also washing up on the Isles of Scilly as well as in Ireland and France. Anyone else finding them? We found these in Ireland last week. https://t.co/D3hDLfdRT2

#CamberSands results
We had a race! Many #microplastics found & recorded for #thegreatnurdlehunt
#Nurdles = pre production plastic pellets
#BioBeads = wastewater treatment media

[Strandliners @StrandlinersCIC]

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.
Ratio was 95:47 = lower than previous years.

Do we only see what we physically purchase?

What about the pre & post consumer production & waste consequences?

Colum tabaci
habitat: all environments
distribution: widespread – may migrate to beaches via drains
subspecies: often unidentifiable
environmental impact: low but may remain in environment for 10-15 years
What other #plasticspecies will we find at the @Plasticblitz?
@Thames21

[Strandliners @StrandlinersCIC]

Receptaculum plasticum spuma
habitat - all environments
distribution - widespread
subspecies - may become officially extinct after 1st October
environmental impact - high - attractive to Larus Argentatus
What other #plasticspecies will we find at the @Plasticblitz?
