Beach Care
On the last Saturday of every month a small group of willing volunteers carry out a beach clean at Fistral Beach in Newquay. At times the task at hand can be daunting due to the high volume of rubbish and because it is just not possible to remove the thousands and thousands of tiny pieces of plastic from the beach by hand.
However we are aware that the marine rubbish that we do remove will hopefully not go back into the ocean and the food chain. As a surfer and beach goer it is always good karma to give a little something back.
The Fistral beach clean is run under Keep Britain Tidy’s BeachCare programme. BeachCare organiser Neil Hembrow has compiled some stats from the first fourteen beach cleans and it is interesting to see what has been collected and the comparisons between Fistral and other beach cleans.
More on the BeachCare programme can be found here. The next Fistral Beach clean is Saturday 28 January, details below;
