Coastal Clean Up and Eggcase Hunt – Mount Edgcumbe
August 15 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Mount Edgecumbe is a crucial part of history, culture and future, and are right on the shores of the UK’s first National Marine Park. These iconic heritage sites aren’t just a spot on the map; they’re a living testament to Plymouth and Cornwall’s rich culture. But, like any gem, it needs a bit of polishing now and then. That’s where you come in!
Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or just dipping your toes into community action, there’s a spot for you. Come make waves with us and leave your mark on this coastal legacy. Ready to dive in? Sign up here to secure your spot and let’s make the foreshore shine brighter than ever before!
Coastal Clean Ups! This coastal clean up will be along Barn Pool Beach. We will also be checking out the beach for shark, ray and skate egg cases. As many of you know, we have started our Thornback Ray breeding programme, and we need to collect more baseline data on the current state of populations of Rays in different areas of the sound. For this day, we will be looking out for eggs whilst collecting litter at the same time.
This is suitable for people who have low mobility as there are places to sit, the beach is only accessible by a 2-3 steps. Toilets are easily available at various points around Mount Edgecombe Park that are within a 5-minute walk to the beach.
You will need appropriate clothing and footwear for weather.
