@Walkinginwater1 Thank you for your action that highlights the risk we're facing here in the East 🤿👣 walk well

[Walking in Water @Walkinginwater1]

1/ Sea level rise will transform the east of England within our lifetimes, destroying homes and places we love... yet nobody is talking about it

So I'm walking from Cambridge to Norwich, 180 miles in mask and snorkel, almost entirely on land that will soon be lost to the seas

Something we get asked a lot is, where does all the litter on our beaches come from?
🚮 Public litter
🎣 Fishing
🧻 Sewage related debris
🚢 Shipping
🚯 Fly-tipping
❔ Unknown

Knowing where litter comes from helps us campaign to stop it reaching our ocean and beaches 🌊

This week’s Coasters was all about how we experience water & words about the waves, led by Chris Smith. We started with a poetry reading before taking a blustery beach amble, where we spotted cormorants &
a young Gannet. The group turned their observations into watercolour art
