We are very lucky to live in an area of outstanding, natural beauty and love the waters around us. We are really keen on protecting our seas and environment and are actively involved in Newton Ferrers primary school’s eco committee. We try to inspire younger children to love and protect the ocean too. To raise funds for the Marine conservation society, we have organised lots of fun activities at school on Friday 26th March. We have also done a sponsored paddle board from Bridgend to Wembury beach (4 miles). Wembury and the surrounding coastline form a marine conservation area (MCA) and a special area of conservation (SAC). On the way we removed rubbish from the water and did a litter pick at Wembury beach. Each bit of rubbish we collected will help save a sea creature. We hope to raise £100 to donate to the Marine conservation society. 

We did the paddle board on the 3rd of April. We paddle boarded from the pontoon to Wembury instead of from Bridgend because the water was really far out. The hardest part was coming up and around from we bury to get past all of the rocks. I was wearing a Go pro, kim (Freya’s dad) was taking pictures on his camera and Max (Neve’s dad) was on a speed boat in case we got into any trouble. We have loads of pictures and did a litter pick and found lots of rubbish. We will post some of the pictures on here when we have them all.
