Pembrokeshire based award-winning charity Neptune’s Army of Rubbish Cleaners (NARC) has launched a new video highlighting some of their finds as they continue to help clean the underwater world. This coincides with the charity making a Clean Seas Wales pledge.
The UK’s first underwater clean-up group was founded in 2005 by local diver Dave Kennard. Since then, Neptune’s Army of volunteers have carried out over 300 dives to help protect the coastline of Pembrokeshire.
As well as the more common finds such as plastic, shopping trolleys, cans, tyres, angling and fishing gear, the charity have stumbled upon some more surprising discoveries, including satellite dishes, a Mitsubishi van and even the kitchen sink!
Minister for the Environment, Hannah Blythyn, said: “We’re more aware than ever of the devastating effect rubbish dumped in the sea can have on our marine environment. It’s great to see the volunteers from Neptune’s Army spreading the word and helping protect our beautiful coastline.”
