Beach Buddies' patron, His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, attended and signed up as a 'Biosphere Buddy'.

At the event, Beach Buddies announced it will host an environment conference in May 2019.

The charity's founder, Bill Dale BEM, said: 'We hope it will be a really big event, as so many people are so concerned about the environment, nature and wildlife and want to find out as much information as they can about it what they can do to make a difference.'
