Unified by a mission to protect our seas and waterways.
Our focus on water quality fuels every initiative we undertake, from combating plastic pollution to implementing nature-based solutions like rain gardens. We believe in a holistic approach, protecting our seas, rivers and waterways and in doing so also addresses the triple planetary crisis of water quality, climate change, and biodiversity loss. By reducing plastic pollution, we mitigate climate impacts, and through sustainable practices like rain gardens, we enhance water quality and control flooding. For the health of people and Planet the onus is on us to protect our seas, rivers and waterways ensuring that we have a healthy Ocean and water cycle for all.
August 2025 - our friend Jay asked us to organise a 45 people strong beach clean at Crooklets for his family and friends who were camping in the area. It was our absolute pleasure to meet such a friendly, and enthusiastic group of people who rolled up their sleeves and picked up 23kg of plastic pollution from the beach.
We’ve organised beach cleans from Scarborough to Bude; educating and raising awareness with schools, businesses, groups and individuals, lobbying government along the way.
We’ve worked with some epic partners such as The London Boat Race and Peppa Pig. No matter how big or small the clean or who we’re partnering with, every single piece of plastic removed from our beaches, rivers and seas counts. Each piece removed is one less piece of plastic that can be ingested by marine life, we prevent the bigger pieces breaking down into microplastics and we keep our beaches, rivers and waterways looking beautiful.
Connecting through collaboration and action.
We work with schools, from pre-school up to sixth form and beyond. Running workshops, beach cleans and art projects. We always aim to inform and have fun along the way. We’re inspired daily by the brilliant students we have the pleasure of working with.
