We made it into the local paper!

The local paper, The West Briton gave our beach litter survey efforts a shout this week together with those by a group on the neighbouring beach who even organised a SCUBA sweep of the nearshore. The photo is of their group, not ours and deservedly so. See the scan below (click to enlarge).

It seems I have been quoted as 'a Spokesman for the National Trust' - so perhaps it was just as well I cleared the press release with the management! The West Briton got their facts a little wrong about our survey results but the gist of the article is ok and hopefully will go some way to raising awareness about the sources of beach pollution and its effects on the local environment without sounding like yet another eco-nag.
