Keep Wales Tidy teamed up with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Pembrokeshire County Council to carry out a much needed clean- up at Newgale. Volunteers from Kelda Water Services, The Avenue Social Activity Centre in Tenby, St. David's Care in the Community, and Darwin Science worked together with National Park wardens and collected more than 30 bags of rubbish from the pebble bank and foreshore vegetation. The bulk of the rubbish had been washed in during the winter storms, and mainly comprised of plastic bags, bottle tops and pieces of fishing net, all of which pose a threat to wildlife through entanglement or ingestion. Some of the more unusual items found included discarded plastic tags from lobster pots as far flung as Newfoundland. Keep Wales Tidy's Clean Coasts Project is partly financed by Interreg IIIA ERDF, Environment Agency Wales, Countryside Council for Wales, Wales Tourist Board and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water.
