🚢 We recently had reports of a huge #GhostGear fishing net that had been exposed due to the shifting sands on the dunes at Constantine Bay. 🤩 In total, the net weighed approximately 1000kg. We'll repurpose, reuse and recycle it. #IAmABeachGuardian #ItStartsWithCommunity

📷 This last week has illustrated how much our dune systems can change in a very dynamic way 📷 Tonight's #TuneInTuesday footage sent to us by volunteers showing our process for #ghostgear net removal. An inch at a time... #IAmABeachGuardian #CornwallAONB #FiPL #Farming #MS4S
