The Telegraph outdoor show at Excel, London hosted Oceans 2017 this year which was organised and run by the Whalefest team. Their focus being marine plastics and a journey through the life cycle of single use plastic and the dangers plastic pollution brings to marine life. Our recycled kayak was featured in their mock up shop, along with many other amazing products currently being retailed and developed to utilise the plastic that is being pulled from our oceans.

They event saw over 15 000 people go through its doors over the four days, many of who were children and families that had never come across this issue previously.

Fathoms Free is a group of volunteer divers who protect marine wildlife and the environment for everyone's benefit by removing ALDFG (abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear) and other marine debris from the coastal waters of Cornwall and Devon.

ALDFG is also known as ghost gear or ghost fishing gear, as it continues to "fish," entangling, trapping, and killing wildlife indiscriminately. These trapped animals will die and act as bait, attracting more wildlife in a vicious cycle of death until the ghost gear is removed from the environment.
