Eco-champions launch Falmouth Harbour’s litter-skimming Seabin

Cornish rower Bella Collins, whose UK team smashed a Pacific Record to raise more than £31,000.00 for the global “Seabin Project”, has joined Falmouth Harbour, Plastic Free Falmouth and Paddle Logger to launch Cornwall’s first of these rubbish-skimming waste collectors back in home waters.

Bella and Plastic Free Falmouth’s Cllr Kirstie Edwards unveiled the £4,000 Seabin – installed in an area of the Falmouth Haven pontoons where flotsam and jetsam is known to accumulate – in the latest drive by Falmouth Harbour to create an ever cleaner and greener environment in the Commission’s 150^th year.

The device, which is skimming plastics and other debris from the water, was funded by Falmouth Harbour in generous collaboration with Falmouth-based Space tech company PaddleLogger which creates specialist tracking and safety software for watersports’ enthusiasts. For the full press release please click here.
