The Dolphin Project

This project is now live! The up-cycling & repurposing of this beautiful wooden boat as a community asset has begun, with a target launch date of May 2025.

Dolphin is a 26ft pitch pine on oak hulled motor sailer built in 1963 in Peterborough by a yard who made lifeboats for the RNLI.

Working with a diverse team of boat building experts, marine surveyors, boating enthusiasts, students & community volunteers, the goal is strip back & repurpose this beautiful wooden boat – transforming Dolphin into a fantastic electrically powered launch which will silently deliver nature immersion experiences, pleasure trips, and events on the Salcombe - Kingsbridge Estuary (Ria) enabling more people from all walks of life get to out on the water and fall in love with what to many is inaccessible.

Dolphin will be crewed and managed by the community project volunteers and as such will be an asset to be used and enjoyed by everyone, rather than sitting forlornly on a mooring most of the time like 99% of other private vessels!

Learning new skills and working as part a team in the outdoors is a proven way to deliver positive outcomes. We would welcome additional partners & volunteers on this project. Please Note: You do not need any specialist skills to get involved just a willingness to contribute to a team effort in a light hearted atmosphere. If you would like to get involved and help give Dolphin, yourself & others a new lease of life, please get in touch. gary@tillthecoastisclear.co.uk 07817910115

Coastline Clean Up

Despite diversifying our nature regeneration projects, our main focus is still very much on the recovery of plastic pollution from the estuary shorelines and coast of South Devon. We hoped we would be able to move on swiftly, but having taken out over 23 tonnes of material already, there is still much work to be done unfortunately.

We will continue to work all year round as conditions permit, the Winter storms bring in the highest volumes of commercial material but litter & other forms of plastic pollution are more prevalent during the warmer months. If you find a large concentration of waste on the SW coast and need some help / advice to recover it or, if you would like to join in with the clean up effort, please get in touch.

Sustainability Study - Rockfish

As part of a pilot project we were engaged to look at aspects of the businesses operations and supply chain to identify where efficiencies and new ideas might be introduced. Excitingly this resulted in several recommendations being taken forward for consideration & development. We continue to work with the sustainability team in an advisory capacity to help keep sustainability and circularity at the top of the agenda.

Brixham Litter Free Seas

This Project Is an exciting, community centred initiative, focused on eradicating plastic and other waterborne pollution from Brixham harbour. The project is funded by the restaurant group Rockfish, via The Devon Environment Foundation (DEF) and is being coordinated and delivered by the community Interest company, Till the Coast is Clear (TTCIC).
