This BTCV Natural Break week will comprise of a mix of litter collection/surveying and educational activities.
All the marine litter you collect will be surveyed before bagging and the data fed into the Marine Conservation Society's annual waste survey, in order to aid to identify litter problems and tackle them at source. You can also just join in for the day.
Throughout the week there will also be visits to and talks by professional and local people involved in protecting marine wildlife around our coasts: Learn to sea who raise awareness of the dangers and pressures on our local coast and seas and how they can be prevented, a rock pool ramble to gain an insight into the amazing underwater world along the Devon coastline and a visit to the Plymouth National Marine Aquarium. The trips should fuel your enthusiasm and give an insight into the impact that marine pollution has on wildlife. You will be guided by experienced group leaders who know the local area well and have a good knowledge of the practical work.
