In Aid of:-

Marine Conservation Society and their campaign to

Reduce Plastic in the Sea

l By 2050 There will be more plastic in the Sea than fish. (If current trends continue)

l Whales are dying because they eat plastic bags - which fill their stomachs and they then starve

l Tiny fragments of plastic attract algae, The plastic with the algae are eaten by tiny sea creatures which are eaten by larger fish and then end up on our plates of fish & chips
