Yesterday we welcomed The Prince of Wales to Colwyn Bay. The Prince met Youth Ocean Network members and volunteers from our Hiraeth Yn Y Môr project to hear about their work on ocean literacy, coastal heritage and wellbeing.

Ever heard of nurdles? These tiny plastic pellets are causing big problems
Nurdles are the raw material used to make plastic products. Millions are lost during transport, ending up on our beaches and in the sea
They’re hard to spot, harder to clean up and a growing threat to our ocean
