Alastair Sharman-Courtney

I have worked in the Public Sector for 21 years now and was at agricultural college before that. I have strong feelings about the environment and how we are affecting it as a whole. My studies are all land-based but most of my hobbies are water based. Witnessing first hand the pollution on beaches around the South West and England as a whole, I have always had a drive inside of me to do what I can.

My job has now brought me to Devon and I now live in Plymouth. This is fantastic news for me as I’m a very keen bodyboard and handplane user, most week nights or early mornings I will be found on the coast looking for a good swell and picking up what I can as I leave the beach. I ask everyone to do the same not just at organised events.
