About the event

Come along and help us remove harmful nurdles and microplastics from the beach at Kimmeridge. 

Nurdles are tiny plastic pellets used in manufacturing to make most of our plastic items. All around the world, billions of nurdles are lost to the environment each year, ending up in the sea or on our beaches where they pose a threat to wildlife.

The best way to remove these nurdles and other microplastics that wash up along the strandline without damaging this rich habitat is to pick them up by hand. 

This event is being run as part of the annual Great Global Nurdle Hunt which aims to draw attention to the issue and provide a snapshot on global plastic pellet pollution. By participating, not only will you be helping our local marine wildlife, but you will also be collecting important data which will be used by organisations such as Fidra to support calls for change.
