LOOKING AFTER OUR BEACH,
FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW. ♡
Sargassum is a natural part of our marine ecosystem and provides important habitat for marine life while at sea. When large quantities wash ashore like last night, however, careful management is needed.
Our approach is to work with nature by removing plastic and other debris first, allowing the sargassum to dry, and carefully sifting it so that as much of our precious beach sand as possible stays where it belongs.
Looking after our coastline isn’t simply about keeping the beach beautiful; it’s about protecting the sand, the sea and the wider marine environment for everyone to enjoy. 🌴🌊
🗑️ REMOVE THE PLASTIC
Remove plastic and other man-made debris washed ashore with the seaweed.
☀️ LET IT DRY
Allow the seaweed to dry naturally, making it lighter and easier to handle.
🧹 MAKE SMALLER PILES
Rake the dried seaweed into manageable piles.
🛒 SIFT & REMOVE
Sift carefully to preserve the sand, then move the seaweed by wheelbarrow to the back of the beach for collection or natural decomposition.
