So Ophelia put on a good show yesterday hope everyone is safe. Our N.Wales coastline got a big hit from mother nature. After a day of working alongside the neighbours chainsawing trees. I went to check the shore. Remember! we have to rebuild/fix the damage caused to our habitat and this goes for sealife. Washed up from the storm was a whole rig of lobster pots. Lobsters inside were carrying berries so we released them back into the sea. We also came across some poor Octopuses who didn't make it and some giant floating pontoons. A quick beach clean later and now back home. If your out and about do clear up some of the rubbish washed up. Look after our sealifes habitat. #lobster #lobsterpot #stormophelia #preserveoursealife #sustainablefishing #donttakewhatyoudontneed #beachclean #gwynedd #storm #afterthestorm
