Newquay Beachcombing

My technicolour beach clean. Just some of the items picked up from Cornish beaches last week. It's great that plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds are set to be banned in England but how do you stop everything else ending up in the ocean?

Thousands of #Salps washed ashore at #PorthHellick, #Scilly this morning 💦 Many still pulsing. Large aggregations of them in pools & shallow water, making the water cloudy & thick like jelly 💦 #IslandLife #OceanDrifter #MarineBiology #BareFootBeachFind2023

@TakeMeAway2018 Don’t know.

@TakeMeAway2018 Go to airmalta.com and type in Casablanca to London one way 16th March

@TakeMeAway2018 Apparently there is an air Malta flight tomorrow night from Casablanca - two seats left - fly via Malta then to London

@TakeMeAway2018 We rang the foreign office and their advice was to stay put but that she could be there for another two weeks - we’re currently looking for flights

@TakeMeAway2018 My daughter is in the same situation.

@juliet_vickery Hello - just wanted to check whether you still need us to email you an image?

@Newquaybeach @dorsetdevils @SeaChampsSW @Seasaver hi, I am co-editing a book on getting science into policy and we are hoping for an eye catching photo on front cover of plastics. do you think anyone in your @Newquaybeach would be interested ? the one here of single bottle in weed is great for example.

@dorsetdevils @SeaChampsSW @Seasaver Rest assured we pick up plastic daily! Over 1K plastic bottles/fragments removed from 1 beach last week and 10K bottle tops removed 1 summer

@juliet_vickery You’re welcome to use it. Over the last ten years we have taken some 80,000 images of marine debris so are sure to have something that fits the bill. Do you want us to email you a high res image?

@eegeesea @BrendanGodley @Seasaver Hi Emily - here are some more for you to choose from. You're welcome to use them.

@Newquaybeach @BrendanGodley @Seasaver Any other nurdle images very welcome - especially those showing nurdles in situ (beach, rockpool, strandline, etc). Emily

A Cornish rockpool yesterday. #nurdles #microplastic

@eegeesea @BrendanGodley @Seasaver Yes that’s fine

@Newquaybeach @BrendanGodley @Seasaver Hi @Newquaybeach - please may I use this image in a talk about nurdles? Full credit will be given. Many thanks, Emily

@2handsproject Nothing planned. Going back to old fashioned pen and ink.

@Newquaybeach New account?

@ahall_andrew Thanks Andrew - gradually shutting down my various social media accounts. Quite hard to let go actually but time to move on.

@Newquaybeach Booo, sorry to see you go

@MsHellieD Sorry - replying to two tweets at the same time and got in a muddle 😕

@Newquaybeach I think this was meant for someone else 😬

@Mrsjw91Wells Thanks, Jan.

@MsHellieD Thanks, Nikki. That means a lot.

@Newquaybeach That's a shame - but I have enjoyed my brief time following you 🙂

@SalMcW I don’t know of one.

@PMOCentric My dog is poorly and it’s difficult for us to get to the beach now. 😢

@hakaimagazine Happy birthday! We made a fish. From nurdles found on the beach.

Now we are three. hakaimagazine.com/article-short/… #earthday #birthday

@CarinaDSLR @Seasaver @SkyOceanRescue @EarthDayNetwork It was sad to see the seal among all the plastic on the beach.
