Today is the last day of the #GreatBritishBeachClean this year. That is why I was discussing the importance of our volunteer beach clean and data collection programme of 30 years on Sunday Morning Live this morning. A huge thank you to the our amazing volunteer force! @mcsuk.bsky.social

Great to hear from Nature Minister, Mary Creagh, how important our beach clean data has been in supporting the introduction of a new deposit return system and moving towards an economy based on repair, reuse, refill and recycling. Crucial for nature and climate - and the ocean, of course.

The health of our marine ecosystems depends on strong legislation that holds polluters accountable. By strengthening the Water (Special Measures) Bill, we can take meaningful steps toward cleaner, healthier seas.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.
A picture of the earth showing the pacific ocean. You can see hawaii and New Zealand. Also the edge of antarctica, australia, and north and south america...but barely.
