Rob Thompson in the Maldives

Happy Monday everyone! What did you get up to at the weekend?


One of our own, Rob Thompson, the chair of Fathoms Free and director of Odyssey Innovation, has been paddling very hard in his recycled marine plastic kayak for the last 4 days supporting the amazing team behind the @standupforourseas campaign. The team made up of stand up paddler boarders and kayakers are visiting islands, talking to the local kids in schools, rescuing turtles and cleaning up the debris they find along the way.


Have we mentioned this is happening in the Maldives?


If you want to find out more about this amazing campaign led by a bunch of inspirational and totally awesome ladies, take a look at their Facebook page, it's full of photos of sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters - something we'd rather be looking at on a Monday afternoon! 😄🏝🚣‍♂️

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.
