The coast isn’t clear - how can we help keep the sea plastic free?


By Helen West (pictured), Director and Chartered Financial Planner, West Financial Management Co. Ltd


As a company we close our office each year to do a volunteer day. This year we met with Gary Jolliffe, from Till the Coast is Clear, a


company that tackles shoreline pollution and improves the coastal environment by clearing marine plastic waste. Gary took us out on his boat, Coast Clear One, around the Plymouth shores, where we managed to collect an unimaginable amount of plastic and debris which practically filled the boat. Luckily, there was still room for us to be taken safely back to shore! It was a very satisfying and rewarding day out. Till the Coast is Clear has a zero to landfill policy and work with specialist


resource recovery partner, Coastal Recycling, to ensure all waste is either recycled or used for energy generation. So far, in lieu of Christmas cards, we have donated £250 to this very


worthwhile cause. Contact Gary to arrange either a day out with him or to advise him


where you’ve done a beach clean but were unable to take it away due to the terrain, he will then collect it in his specially designed boat and dispose of it correctly. The damage to the environment is now well known to the majority with so


many companies and individuals doing their bit, but there is still so much more to be done to save the sealife, corals and the shorelines of the World.
