Wardie Bay beach clean this Sunday
This latest Wardie Bay Beachwatch, providing citizen science data to Marine Conservation Society, is in memory of an entangled humpback that marine life rescuers tried desperately to save.
Members of the Marine Clean 2019 group named the whale White Fluke (or Tynae), and they are hosting a Firth of Forth-wide beach clean on Sunday 16 June to encourage everyone to make our seas a better place. Ghost Gear – fishing ropes – weighed this majestic whale down like an anchor, cutting its fluke, until it was eventually too exhausted to fight.
Let’s join forces and help mitigate the harm our careless consumerism does to marine life!
