Today we had another successful 'Our Coast Our Wildlife' Nature Survey at White Lea farm with Jason and the team. We recorded 42 species during our walk and then carried out some checks on the bird boxes. Check our events pages for future surveys🦋 #volunteering #wildlife #survey

Today BDMLR were alerted to a stranded Porpoise at Seaham. Volunteer medics included a mixture of old and new SeaScapes staff who knew the area well. The team managed to re-float the Porpoise and we hope that she can now continue to swim and feed along our amazing coastline 🐬

Yet another large haul of rubbish from Crimdon beach. Thank you to our volunteers & Durham University students from Stephenson College DurhamUniversity
50 bags of rubbish mostly rope, plastic, metal, tyres and so much more! This represents a tiny % of what is in our seas.

A big thank you to the volunteers from PX Limited who carried out a beach clean today at Seaton Carew. We collected a total of 30 bags and removed equipment that would have quickly become an entanglement hazard for marine wildlife.
