Nurdles are small plastic pellets that get melted down to produce single use plastics. They get transported by open shipping containers and so end up in the sea very easily. They look yummy to wildlife but are really dangerous if eaten. So go and join them for this free event and see how many nurdles you can find. All ages are welcome; under 18’s to be accompanied by an adult.
