Family days out don't stop Emily spotting litter on a beach! ππ Emily said she was angry when she saw a plastic cup that someone had left on the sand, so we decided to see what else we could find.
Within a couple of minutes we found a sock, a bra pad, a plastic cup and 2 pieces of plastic. We put them in the bin where they belong! β»οΈ
Don't forget, you don't have to be on an organised beach clean to pickup litter - just grab what you pass instead of walking by π«Ά
Did you know Oceanarium, Bournemouth team up with Marine Conservation Society every month to do beach cleans? Swing by their website to join in!

We're celebrating a great big Happy Birthday to our very own JoJo today!
Most of you will know Jo as one of the dive centre team. She's the glue that holds this mildly ricketty ship together, the self proclaimed "boss's boss" and a fabulous Mum to everybody's favourite dive centre assistant, Emily.
Please join me in wishing her a wonderful day off!
Have a great day JoJo
