We were expecting the results to be higher following a day of heavy rain (approximately 11mm). There were no outfall alerts from Southern Water for these local beaches in the previous 48hr period.

Thank you to the 20 ocean activists who came to the second @sascampaigns.bsky.social #millionmileclean of the year. It was a chilly one. We collected 8kg of litter from the beach. Next clean: 16th March, 10am, Banjo Groyne. See you there! #litterpick

We are devastated to confirm that bio-bead pollution has reached Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. We're working to assess the damage to the precious saltmarsh habitat and plan the clean-up.
