I'm up to 44 of these bodyboard packaging, #discsofdoom, just off my beach in the last couple of weeks and have seen them wash up in Devon + California. Got myself a lovely Gloria Estefan "Go away" earworm to go with picking them up! 🔁 #2minutebeachclean@2minbeachclean

Water firms discharged raw sewage into England's rivers 200,000 times in 2019.🤢

⚠️ Sewage Alert⚠️
Heavy rainfall means CSOs are spewing sewage into UK rivers and bathing waters as we speak, and Government and Water Companies are doing very little to keep you safe. Donate to our Urgent Appeal to help #EndSewagePollution https://t.co/l03JpNOeLm
Wow, it seems the soaring temperatures have brought lots of #marinewildlife to our coast 🙌
