During the course of the morning, the volunteers managed to fill two industrial-sized wheelie bins full of rubbish that had been washed up on the shore.
Linda Swales, Nedbank Private Wealth’s Head of Sustainability, said: “We are proud to play a part in protecting the Island’s scenery and wildlife. This initiative is particularly worthwhile when we read so much about the harm that discarded lobster pots, fishing nets and general litter can do to the environment. Helping out with this important beach clean, while learning more about the area, made for a very lively and interesting morning.”
Armed with gloves and rubbish sacks, the volunteers started near Hango Hill and cleared as much harmful material as time allowed, in order to reduce its impact on the Isle of Man’s local waters and beyond.
Nedbank Private Wealth already has an established relationship with the Marine Biology Section of the Societe Jersiaise in Jersey, and now building a relationship with Beach Buddies extends this drive to protect the shores of the Isle of Man.
