We’re slightly blushing over here… but we’ve been featured in @devonlifemag talking about “Turning the tide on ocean plastic,” which feels pretty big for a couple of salty, slightly scruffy beach lovers.
After 15 years of weekend van trips to Devon camping on beaches, we somehow get to call this coastline home, wake up next to it every day and build something that helps protect it. That’s precious and it’s not lost on us.
The magic coastal views in our back yard, the early morning surfs and swims. The support for what we doing with ghost nets and sustainable business practices, and the amazing people we’re meeting, has meant everything.
It’s been a long time dream and when a dear friend passed away, way too soon, we finally decided that life was too short and precious to waste another moment not doing what we love.
So here we are living the life of our dreams, we have grabbed this opportunity with both hands.
It’s not been the easiest move or year, but there’s not one regret. We’re really grateful for every precious moment and doing our best to give a little back to the coast and people that we love 💙
:::
Thanks for the support. For the friendships. For the kindness. We have just got started and have only had our 1st anniversary going full time. We have big plans to keep scaling the cleanup and creating positive change. Together we are stronger! 💙🙏🧜♂️🧜♀️🐬🙌🤙
