Gyllyngvase Beach Underwater Litter Pick

After the success of the Swanpool Beach underwater litter pick, we decided to do it again. Gyllyngvase Beach was the next chosen location. We put out a call for volunteers on Facebook and once again had a great response. BBC Radio Cornwall never interviewed us this time and we never bothered with the local newspapers either. We did speak to the Gylly Cafe owner and the RNLI lifeguards to let them know what was going on.

Fifteen divers turned up and entered the water, whilst Ruth stayed on the shore.

Each diver pair or group towed a surface marker buoy and carried a 'goody' bag. They covered the reef in search of anything that doesn't belong.

After just over an hour everyone was back on shore. 16.1kg's of debris was recovered, catagorised and recorded. The info is due to be sent to the MCS and Project Aware.
