Turlin Moor Community Clean

Parkstone Rotary Club chooses Oceans to Earth as 2021 Charity of the Year
Oceans to Earth has been chosen as the Parkstone Rotary Club’s charity of the year until June 2021, meaning they’ll be helping us out hands on, and raising funds to help us meet our operational costs.
Oceans to Earth goes all-electric with Polly Ethel
River Boats UK has gifted Oceans to Earth Polly Ethel, a 100% recyclable plastic River Boat 290 Open. This along with an all-electric outboard courtesy of Epropulsion, has massively increased our capacity to help us get to the hard to access areas of Poole Harbour with minimal impact on the environment.
Swim Jurassic Raises £9,480
Oly Rush, our Operations Director, started his Swim Jurassic fund-raiser back in September 2020, swimming the 96 miles that makes up the Jurassic Coastline of the World Heritage Site in Dorset to raise funds for Oceans to Earth and Clean Jurassic Coast.
Refill Dorset
Litter Free Coast and Sea’s ‘Refill Dorset’ scheme offers the public free tap water refills at designated points. Refill is a practical tap water campaign that aims to make refilling your bottle as easy, convenient and cheap as possible by introducing refill points on every street.
Polly Esther
We are feeling truly blessed as the Big Harbour Clean Up and GoPladdle are now motorised! We have kindly been donated our rubbish-seeking boat ‘Polly-Esther’ by Poole Harbour Commissioners along with an electric Torqueedo outboard which has been loaned to us by Salterns Marina.
