A new Seabin, the first of a new fleet of 6 funded by Sellafield Ltd’s Social Impact, Multiplied programme, has been installed in Whitehaven Marina
The pollution fighting scheme was the brainchild of the staff and youngsters from the Whitehaven Harbour Youth Project.
They installed the first Seabin into the harbour in 2019 and applied to Sellafield Ltd to fund a further 6.
Stephen Walter from the youth project said:
Sellafield Ltd’s head of community and development said:
The remaining Seabins will be installed at a rate of one per month.
Once they are all installed the marina will sit behind only Sidney Harbour and Dubai in terms of investment in tackling marina pollution around the world.
