Heading to the NE coast with @Perkins16Matt today to help examine something a little bit out of the ordinary- basking shark which live stranded at Filey, North Yorkshire on Thursday evening. More to follow... #CSIoftheSea

Pleased to be rolling out this campaign at beaches along Dorset's coast this coming week 🏖 Please use a bin or take your rubbish home 🗑👍 #SlamDunkTheJunk #RespectProtectEnjoy #DontBeATosser

Nice shout for The essential guide to rockpooling @Jazeyfantazy 😊, interesting stuff , have a listen

This large buoy washed up at Kimmeridge, #Dorset recently having been lost by Marcel Vacon, a #Newfoundland lobster fisherman around 3 years ago. What a journey! It picked up hitchhikers in the form of #goosebarnacles #NorthAtlanticDrift #MarineLitter @LitterFreeCoast @DWTMarine

@Catshark1 @LizzieRDaly @SharkTrustUK Really enjoyed that. Thanks Cat and well done 😃

@2minbeachclean @LegoLostAtSea @Portheras Ah yes 🙂

@UKBeachcomber @LegoLostAtSea @Portheras Isn’t that a toilet duck? Squirt upwards around the rim?

Does anyone know- Is this one of the Vanish bottles from the container spill a couple of years ago, still washing up? @LegoLostAtSea @2minbeachclean @Portheras

@LegoLostAtSea @2minbeachclean @Portheras Oh yes. Thought it didn’t look quite right 🙂

@UKBeachcomber @2minbeachclean @Portheras Not one of the Vanish bottles - these are a different shape... As @2minbeachclean suggest, maybe a toilet duck?

@BareFoot_IOS @LegoLostAtSea @2minbeachclean @Portheras Ok. Thanks. I thought it looked a bit small.

@UKBeachcomber @LegoLostAtSea @2minbeachclean @Portheras The Vanish bottles had handles... Like the one below... Agree that looks like a Duck 😁👣

Wow! Who would LOVE to find one of these?

Glorious day on the Lincolnshire coast today. Amazing beachcombing and thrilled to see hardly any litter! Such a special bit of the world 😍 #Lincolnshire #visitLincsCoast

@RobGMacfarlane Spring arrives earlier in the rock pools than on land. I've never seen cat shark hatchlings in February before, but it's usually too stormy to access the lower shore.

@OctopusSeaweed @UKBeachcomber Before they dry out they are an amazing array of blues 😍👣

Found a strange-looking blob on the tideline... took me a while to realise it was a baby Portuguese man o' war! #looe #cornwall #beachlife Hand for scale. Amazing animals... but they pack quite a sting so it's best not to let dogs nose about on the tideline!

Just spent an hour wading through this and typing my responses then my iPad died! I was only on page 3 of 11 Aaaaaagh 😩

There's nothing like a winter walk in the rock pools. #Looe to #Millendreath in #Cornwall cornishrockpools.com/2019/02/24/a-w…

I don't understand this, when I throw a #bottle away I can get a #litter fine, but if I leave 1000 #balloons in the air there is NO problem ... ??? #PlasticPollution #plastic #balloonsblow #waste #BeatPlasticPollution
