Huge thanks to the whole team – and local Farm Manager Andy – for taking time out of their busy days and making a real, visible difference to our communities.

Teams from across our marine sites will be out and about this week, with more snapshots of what we find to come.

This is an important part of our calendar each year – a dedicated week-long focus helping to keep our shores clean and free from debris, whether fish farming-related or not.
