Just before the Christmas beak we manged to get out on the beaches with Transition Year students from Skibbereen Community School.
We met at Tragumna beach and gave the area a thorough cleaning. We recorded everything that was collected as can be seen in the photos here. The collected plastics will be used by the students for their art projects.
All the work was carried out with masks being worn by everyone and the rules of social distancing were all observed. Overall, 11 bags of ocean plastic waste were collected from the beaches of Tragumna, West Cork.
