Isle of Wight Day mascot, “Nipper” made its first appearance of 2019 on Wednesday 18th September in Seaview , when it joined children of Nettlestone Primary School as they embarked on a massive 3 day project to clean the beaches from Seagrove Bay to Puckpool point. The beach clean was in support of Isle of Wight Day Coastal Clean up but is part of a wider project – the school has teamed up with Surfers Against Sewage and adopted the oceans’ plastic problem as their theme for the year. Supported by parents, ten community and four local business volunteers, the young ‘guardians of the oceans’ removed over 5 kilos of litter.
