Really grateful to attend the first day of @5Samls in the eastern cape today. One thing i'd definitely reckon everyone check out whether you're a fish fanatic or not is this video celebrating South Africa's 20 new Marine Protected areas! youtu.be/LI7Xx21ESoY via @YouTube

This octopus was made out of #plastic collected from a beach in Cornwall in one day. With the help from the community in #Plymouth, we made something beautiful out of an ugly problem. Can you find the toothbrush?

The results of a #5MinuteBeachClean near #LaChocolatera in #Ecuador. This whole beach is a site for nesting turtles.. I also met other locals doing the same! If we all spent 5 minutes doing this we’d have cleaner beaches in no time! #PlayasLimpias #2minutebeachclean #cleanbeaches

Here's a short film i made for the @ThamesManta #citizenscience project. Get your hands wet and volunteer! It's a great opportunity to try #microplastic sampling for yourself and understand what's in our rivers. youtu.be/_U_i4Ig6CnM @river_living living-river.org/contact-us
