    Story

    Thousands of tons of plastics, general rubbish and discarded fishing equipment wash up on the Welsh shoreline every year. With nobody dedicated to the removal of this toxic waste around the entirety of the Welsh coast, Coastline Guardians CIC was formed to tackle the problem. With regular patrols of the coastline, this unsightly and toxic problem can be brought under control. Huge swathes of the Welsh shoreline are not accessible by foot, but rubbish doesn't care where it washes up, yet it still needs to be removed from the ocean cycle and not be allowed to break down and pollute our planet with micro plastics, and manmade waste that kill ocean dwelling creatures through entanglement and ingestion. The only way to remove this rubbish is by the use of a boat and access this pollution from the sea, and it's my goal to raise enough money to purchase a vessel so that the coastline of Wales can be kept free from this pollution that is killing our oceans. When the oceans die, we all die. And the oceans ARE dying.

    I understand that times are difficult for everyone and lots of charities want your donations. This isn't a war in another country, it's not a drought, famine or a need for medical equipment thousands of miles away, this is an environmental emergency on YOUR OWN shores.

    Please give what you can and help Coastline Guardians CIC become successful in its task.
    Thank you for reading this.

      The summer season is over and I'm now into the winter leg of this mammoth task. Starting at the Severn bridge three weeks ago I'm now heading back west. Living off grid, sleeping in a tent and moving around on foot following the Wales coast path is going to prove even more challenging during the winter months than it was in the summer, and the quantity of rubbish far greater. Thank you all for your support and there is now an option to give a monthly donation if you are financially able. Coastline Guardians CIC on Facebook and Instagram.

    Last year I cycled 6.5 thousand miles around the coast of Britain for charity. I visited some beautiful places, but the images that stick in my mind are of the vast quantities of rubbish washed up on our shoreline. I set up Coastline Guardians CIC to deal with this problem.
