Brixham Litter Free Seas

This Project Is an exciting, community centred initiative, focused on eradicating plastic and other waterborne pollution from Brixham harbour. The project is funded by the restaurant group Rockfish, via The Devon Environment Foundation (DEF) and is being coordinated and delivered by the community Interest company, Till the Coast is Clear (TTCIC).

Shoreline Clean Up

We are currently still focused on cleaning up the estuaries shorelines and coastline of South Devon. We hoped we would be able to move on swiftly but having taken out over 3 tonnes of material already, there is still much work to be done.

We will continue to work throughout the Winter as conditions permit as the seasonal storms bring in the highest volumes of material. If you find a large concentration of waste on the SW coast and need some help or if you would like to join in the fun when we go out on the water, please get in touch.

Sustainability Study - Rockfish

As part of a pilot project we were engaged to look at aspects of the businesses operations and supply chain to identify where efficiencies and new ideas might be introduced. Excitingly this resulted in several recommendations being taken forward for consideration & development. We continue to work with the sustainability team in an advisory capacity to help keep sustainability and circularity at the top of the agenda.

The Dolphin Project

This project is in its infancy but we are hoping to be able to facilitate the up-cycling & repurposing of this beautiful wooden boat as a community project.

Dolphin is a 28ft pitch pine on oak hulled motor sailer built in 1963 in Peterborough by a yard who made lifeboats for the RNLI.

Working with a diverse team of boating enthusiasts, students, community payback & socially prescribed folk, the goal is to transform Dolphin into a fantastic solar powered launch which will deliver immersive nature experiences, pleasure trips & events on the estuaries of South Devon.

Dolphin will be owned and managed by the community project and as such will be an asset to be used and enjoyed by everyone rather than sitting forlornly on a mooring most of the time like 99% of other private vessels!

Learning new skills and working as part a team in the outdoors is a proven way to deliver positive outcomes. We are looking for partners on this project with the; means, skills, space & enthusiasm to help it come to fruition. Please get in touch if you would like to get involved and help give Dolphin, yourself & others a new lease of life.

Circular Economy Kayaks

Pioneering marine conservationist and director of Odyssey Innovation Ltd, Rob Thompson has come up with some entrepreneurial ways of using marine recycled plastic. These kayaks are the worlds 1st made from recycled fishing nets and they are things of beauty. Not only do they perform, they prove that a circular approach to business can work. With help from our partners CoGen and Rockfish we have invested in four double kayaks and are using them to help get more people out on the water doing something enjoyable and positive. We also use wooden paddles which are also things of beauty being; strong, light and 98% biodegradable. If you fancy a team event with a difference please get in touch.
