🌊💙 Happy World Ocean Day! 💙🌊

Today, we’re celebrating our connection to the sea by making it even easier for our local community to help protect it.

We’re delighted to have donated a second litter pick station, creating a coastal litter-picking route between Harwich Town Sailing Club and the Harwich Low Lighthouse. 🚮

Now, anyone can collect a litter picker and bag from either location, enjoy a walk along the waterfront, and help remove litter along the way before returning the equipment at the other station.

Every piece of litter removed makes a difference. Plastic pollution remains one of the biggest threats to our marine environment:

🔹 Around 80% of marine litter originates from land-based sources, finding its way into rivers, estuaries and eventually the sea.
🔹 Plastic makes up the vast majority of marine litter found on UK and North Atlantic beaches.
🔹 Once in the ocean, plastic breaks down into tiny microplastics that can be ingested by marine wildlife and persist in the environment for many years.

By working together, we can help keep our coastline clean, protect wildlife, and ensure future generations can continue to enjoy our beautiful waterfront.

As our IT Support Engineer Sean demonstrates below, if you’re passing by, why not grab a litter picker and help make a difference? 🌍♻️

Happy everyone 🌊

For many of us, everyday is ocean day. Whether you work within the environmental sector, you rely on the ocean for your job, or you just simply love being around the water. It provides us with so much (most importantly being 50% of the air we breathe).

We know your inbox is full of requests today, so we’ll keep this simple. If you believe in our mission and would like to help us continue protecting our oceans, a donation of any size would make a real difference.
 
Your support helps us remove litter before it reaches the sea, inspire more people to take action, and keep building a cleaner, healthier future for our oceans.

This we want to celebrate and encourage the little things, because sometimes it can feel like we have to do it all. Here are some zero effort suggestions that you can implement in your daily life to do your bit for the planet 💙

People often ask how we stay optimistic, and thankfully, we get sent and tagged in so many posts of people doing such good things, it's hard not to!

This was one of them. Aimee and her friends felt compelled to do a beach clean at Teignmouth Beach, after seeing how much rubbish had been left there. They plan to do them regularly over the summer too, pretty amazing right?

Beach litter is often blamed on the younger generation, so here's your reminder that there are many, many young people out there going above and beyond to look after the spaces they love!

Thanks to our friends at Helping Hand Environmental, we will be sending Aimee and her friends some litter pickers for their fortnightly beach cleans!

We are very excited to share with you a brand new member of the Station family, meet the sCool Station!

It has been in the works for a little while, and thanks to our Station makers Si and Claire, we have been able to bring our vision to life.

Aptly named the sCool Station, the perfect addition to the school playground, completely customisable and accessible for large groups of students to easily grab their pickers.

Our latest sCool Station is now in its forever home at Blandford Secondary School, fitted with the help of Ian, the School Site Manager.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the new sCool Station, get in touch: [email protected]

If it affects the ocean, it affects us 🌊

Thanks to David Attenborough, bottom trawling was brought to the attention of millions, but sadly in the UK it is still not banned.

We must keep talking, educating and taking action for the ocean. Understanding what is happening out there is key, and the good news is we can all do our bit to try and make a difference.
