The ebbing tide on one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches reveals treasures of the past along it’s strand line and crystal clear, turquoise waters only to those onlookers who have the patience to seek them. The cowrie shell, historically used as a significant form of currency, was valued for its beauty and scarcity around the world.
The hard and treacherous granite rocks along the coast will hopefully continue to protect these little treasures for now from overzealous hands- their only predator. However, as the climate changes, so too does the ebb and flow of the tide. Human impact on the world continues to devastate areas of natural beauty such as this beach and the surrounding marine life.
How can we turn the tide with our actions? How will we protect areas of outstanding natural beauty? How will we take collective action to purify our oceans across the world?
