Our monthly recaps, designed to keep you informed about everything we've been up to as a business. Each month, we'll provide a overview of our latest projects, milestones, and behind-the-scenes insights. Whether it's updates on new initiatives, achievements, or glimpses into the daily workings of our team, these recaps will give you an insider's look at our journey. We hope these updates will not only keep you connected with our progress but also inspire and engage you with the exciting developments happening at Seashell. Here's how our October went!
Our Camouflage Mission Robe is proudly dedicated to our charity partner, The Captain Paul Watson Foundation/Neptune's Pirates. With every purchase, 10% of the profits go directly to support the foundation's vital work. Their team of divers, leading the Ghost Net Campaign, scours the waters around the UK to recover lost and abandoned fishing gear. By removing these dangerous "ghost nets," they help clean our oceans and protect marine life from harmful, deadly traps. This month, we spoke to Louise De Lisle, diver and co-coordinator of the Dive Operations who started her journey with the foundation 8 years ago. Check out the video here.

This month's beach clean was completed on an early Saturday morning, followed by the Seashell weekly sea dip at 10am! Thankfully, the area we focused on around Footdee in Aberdeen was pretty clear, but we did locate a number of larger nets and rope trapped within the rocks that we can return to remove soon with knives.
You might recall that last month we worked with Jamie Smith, the charity manager for Cash for Kids, to help him overcome his fear of the ocean in preparation for their major fundraising event, the Big Dook. The event took place On October 5th along Aberdeen Beach, and what a success it was!
At the time of the dip, the charity had raised £28,000, however the final figure was expected to reach the 30k goal. Around 100 people joined Northsound 1's Jeff and Lauren in the water, plus, Jamie celebrated his newfound love of the water by joining our famous ocean human pyramids!
We're lucky to work with some incredible photographers who help capture the Seashell Spirit. This month we worked with Ceri England, Cornwall-based photographer and travel enthusiast. It was our second shoot with Ceri, joined this time by models Leigh and Shane.
Progress is being made towards the goal of recycling and repurposing of the ghost net we have removed from our shores throughout the year as part of our Ghost Net 1000 Campaign.
Our goal has always been to prevent this net and rope from ending up in landfill, and the entire process has been both educational and eye-opening. Stay tuned to our social media accounts next month for an update on the final weigh-in, and don’t miss the chance to join our competition! Guess the total weight for a chance to win some Seashell goodies!
