Buckets and Spades to Celebrate

It was buckets and spades to the ready on Sunday 6th when Sea Watch Foundation celebrated World Oceans Day (June 8th). Children and big kids alike were kept busy constructing sand sculptures on New Quay beach. After a busy hour Cheryl the dolphin, Tom the Turtle, Diego the Jellyfish, Harry the harbour porpoise and Sandy starfish decorated the beach with many more people coming along to check out the creations and have a go at the blue whale challenge game.





Rain may have stopped play on the beach, however up on the harbour wall the hardy volunteer stuck through it, providing fun ebtertainment with dolphin watching, and marine themed activities for passers by till late into the afternoon. The event was a success despite the weather and we are planning on doing more activities through the summer months.



This Monday two new volunteer joined us in New Quay for our second period. Jenna has flown over from Vancouver, Canada and Tom arrived up from Pembrokeshire to join us. A warm welcome to you both, hope you love it here as much as the rest of us!
