🌊Another 16 BAGS of litter removed from Blast Beach in Seaham!

We were joined by some brilliant volunteers from Durham Wildlife Trust earlier this week to help keep our coast clean. From plastics, and fishing line, to balloons and a huge bundle of fishing rope, this team did a fantastic job removing all this litter from the beach and making the coast a cleaner place for everyone to enjoy.

Over the past few months, volunteers, local residents, and police cadets have worked so hard to remove almost 200 bags from just Blast Beach alone! A HUGE thank you to everyone involved in making a difference to our beautiful coastline. 🌊🦀🐟

☀🌊An outstanding turnout at Crimdon yesterday for our summer evening beach clean!

It was great to see so many families, local residents, Durham Wildlife Trust volunteers getting involved to help keep our coast litter free! Top finds included lots of plastic & glass bottles, BBQ litter, metal drinks cans, fishing line, a fish box, and even a little diver lego figure!

A fantastic team effort cleaning up the beach and getting 19 BAGS of rubbish back up to the top of the steps to be removed. Thank you everyone for all your help 🌊🦀🐟

🌊Thank you to this fabulous team from Durham University, who joined us recently for a beach clean in Seaham!

It’s always sad to see the variety of things that are discarded, which can harm local wildlife and pollute our oceans. Thankfully this fantastic team removed 18 BAGS of rubbish from the coast - including lots of glass bottles, drinks cans, fishing line, food packaging, disposable BBQs, and a shopping trolley! Thank you to everyone who came along and helped prevent all this litter from being washed into the sea and causing a hazard to our marine wildlife - your efforts truly make an impact 💙

🌊🪶As this year's Little Tern nesting season comes to an end, the birds have begun their journey back to The Gambia, the fence around the nesting ground is being removed, and 15 brilliant volunteers joined us at Seaton Carew beach on Friday to help cleanup the area and make it a safer place for everyone!

This team removed 27 BAGS of litter from the beach, sand dunes and promenade 💪They did such an outstanding job cleaning up the area. Sadly, the majority of our haul was discarded litter left behind by visitors, including plastic bottles, wet wipes, food packaging, nitrous oxide canisters, metal drinks cans and so much broken glass. It was so disappointing to see so much rubbish left over in the sand dunes 😔

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped, you’ve certainly made a difference! 🐬🦀
