As the holiday season starts, please share our little video far and wide to highlight the issues around plastic crabbing lines.

Biodegradable ones are available online WOW Camping @wowcampinguk and we would love to hear from any local shops in Newquay that are selling these.

If you buy a plastic one please use it more than once (they last forever!)and never throw it in a public bin with hooks or bait on (birds become hooked and entangled).
We hope to put out the crab line recycling bins again soon in Newquay Harbour and this year, maybe we won't collect so many🤔

Special thanks to @Justinebarton Zeni Hayton and @rebeccaprizeman for all of their help.

Hope everyone's enjoying the last of the weekend?

Last week on Saturday 22nd February we went for a lovely winter bird walk with Steve Rowe on the Gannel.

Amazing attendance, and we saw quite a few species. From widgeons, oystercatchers , the odd gull , and some grey plovers to name a few.

Next time you visit the Gannel keep an eye out to see what you might find. Thanks Steve, we had a blast and enjoyed your expertise and guidance!
