We have got our very own plastic fishing boat: SeaCycler, one of only 6 in the world! Incredibly it is made from 99% recycled plastic and can be seen in Bristol Harbour, full of people, on a mission to clean up our waterways.
Plastic Fishing raises awareness of litter and educates people about how it gets from land to the sea. It’s hands on, great fun, provides food for thought and makes a real difference to our waterways. Plus, participants get to see the infamous Bristol landmarks from a whole new perspective.
We all know that plastic is a threat to our oceans, but the issue can often start much closer to home with 80% of plastic in the ocean coming from land. Significantly, SeaCycler confronts this head on by taking action.
One of our latest projects, Fishing for Change, was an adventure for families. Each event was spent learning, forging new friendships, plastic fishing and, importantly, reconnecting with our city.
Many of our trips are grant funded projects; especially focused on young people, marginalised groups and local communities. Importantly, these trips are always free for participants.
Watch us in action with a school group here.
Additionally, we offer corporate volunteering and team-building activities with a difference, bringing plastic and marine pollution issues to life right in the heart of Bristol’s thriving harbour.
Undoubtedly, SeaCycler is a great asset for the city and for us so what are you waiting for? Come and join us!
Best day out ever! Very fun, virtuous, and productive, all ages loved it. What a great view of the city and chance to look after it.
