PFPS brings together a single page for the local campaign's ambassadors and pioneers and will keep everyone up to date on progress towards a Plastic Free Plymouth Sound and, hopefully, accreditation as the UK's first Plastic Free Coastline City.

The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (MaCAA) introduced a new framework for managing the marine environment and providing greater access to it. This Act of Parliament replaced Sea Fisheries Committees with Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCA’s) and is fundamental to the work of D&S IFCA.
The Devon and Severn IFCA is the largest of the ten separate IFCA districts and has two separate coastlines. The area of the District is 4522km² and is defined in the Statutory Instrument (2010 No. 2212). The D&S IFCA District includes the areas of Devon, Somerset, Gloucestershire County Councils; Bristol City and Plymouth City Councils; North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Councils and all adjacent waters out to six nautical miles offshore or the median line with Wales.
“D&S IFCA will lead, champion and manage a sustainable marine environment and inshore fisheries, by successfully securing the right balance between social, environmental and economic benefits to ensure healthy seas, sustainable fisheries and a viable industry”
The Full Authority is comprised of 30 members drawn from relevant Local Authorities (Councillors), General Members (appointed to the Authority by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Statutory Appointees representing the MMO, the Environment Agency (EA) and Natural England (NE). D&S IFCA is funded via several different funding Authorities (councils) with an additional contribution from central government. Officers are employed by D&S IFCA to conduct work on behalf of the Full Authority. D&S IFCA has ten full time officers and one part-time office manager. The main office is situated in Brixham with one officer located in the Severn area of the District.

We are an Ocean Conservation volunteer group creating a community of carers for our coasts through organising regular beach clean events across Plymouth’s coastal locations. Founded in February 2018, by Oleta Forde, it was only a month later we held our first event in the snowstorm of March 2018!
Humans have explored less than 10% of the ocean but with every new discovery and every new journey to the deep ocean, we are finding our rubbish has beaten us there.
Being a Beach Clean Volunteer you are actively engaging in conservation for the environment, the ocean and our planet. You will get the opportunity to learn more about what is happening on our local coastline, increase your health and wellbeing, meet other local beach cleaners and learn about marine life at the same time.

Nudge is a community benefit society that owns, creates and runs activity in disused, underused or unusual urban spaces to lead to lasting positive change and community led regeneration.
We do this through:
- Listening to our community – taking their lead in developing a ‘nudge’, making it happen and learning about its impact.
- Collaborating with other organisations and groups to make the most effective impact in our community.
- Keeping residents central to our organisation and the main beneficiaries of a nudge.
- Taking fun and creative approaches to difficult issues to create an alternative way.
We are local residents living in Stonehouse, Plymouth – making things happen in our community.
