At a chalk quarry site we own in North Lincolnshire we’ve had 2 piles of rubble dumped containing Japanese Knotweed. A treatment plan in place to try & halt the spread, set up no go areas & installed warning signs @InvasiveSp @CheckCleanDryGB #INNSweek

Despite the wind it didn’t stop us from carrying out a spot of rock pooling at Longis Beach. Our most impressive find was this Sea Hare grazing on the seaweed. “Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but footprints; kill nothing but time” @AlderneyWT #LivingSeas
