It’s #WorldCleanUpDay so we took our boat and a kayak and departed from the beautiful town of Fowey on route to Lansallos to continue a clean up along the rocks, east of the beach.

We collected a lot of big pieces with the kayaks 2 weeks ago and there was still plenty of debris there. Three more sacks were filled today with a lot of polystyrene, bottles and buoys, all light in weight and washed onto the rocks. The kayaks are ideal for getting to these inaccessible locations.


Cleaning up the marine environment is what it’s all about, whether you dive, kayak or beach clean. It doesn’t matter how, it all helps. Let’s all work together and try and stop this litter entering our oceans in the first place.

Fathoms Free is a group of volunteer divers who protect marine wildlife and the environment for everyone's benefit by removing ALDFG (abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear) and other marine debris from the coastal waters of Cornwall and Devon.

ALDFG is also known as ghost gear or ghost fishing gear, as it continues to "fish," entangling, trapping, and killing wildlife indiscriminately. These trapped animals will die and act as bait, attracting more wildlife in a vicious cycle of death until the ghost gear is removed from the environment.
