My retirement project is helping keep the Firth of Clyde clean. The Clyde is a beautiful inland sea with porpoises, dolphins, seals, sometimes whales, and migratory seabirds like gannets #beachclean #FirthofClyde #CowalPeninsula #Argyll #Scotland

Had my eye on this fibreglass rowboat for 3+ years & decided today was the day! That's a bajillion microplastics -- we dragged it above the tideline & will go back to break it up for the dump 😁 #beachclean #CowalPeninsula #ArgyllScotland #FirthofClyde #theClyde
