Recent storms and unsettled weather across the UK can increase the likelihood of unidentified objects washing up on beaches.

Although it’s rare to find unexploded ordnance, bad weather and high tides can expose items of all shapes and sizes.

If you come across something unusual or suspect it could be unexploded ordnance, please don’t try to touch it or move it.

Instead, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. We will respond with our partner agencies to keep people safe and ensure the item in question is disposed of correctly.
