Saltworks-Sup offers stand-up paddle-boarding experiences, safaris, snorkelling tours and dark skies events for individuals, families and groups.
It operates an ethical, ‘leave no trace’, principle on its trips, often collecting litter at sea and on beaches and disposing of it responsibly. Saltworks SUP are now also now an accredited WiSe Wildlife Safe operator. The accreditation ensures they abide by not only our national and local laws on wildlife conservation and disturbance avoidance, but also the WiSe Codes of Conduct, in additional to local wildlife-watching codes.
It works to educate customers on the importance of marine eco-systems and wildlife encountered while out on paddles, liaising with the Manx Wildlife Trust to provide information on sightings.
It promotes the Island’s coasts and walks.
It also cleans beaches in Ramsey, in support of the Marine Nature Reserve there, and harder to reach areas of the Island’s coastline, accessible by sea.
It supports, and gives a monthly donation to, Surfers Against Sewage.
It continues to work in a small sustainable way by getting the community to access parts of the Island off the normal beach routes, allowing interactions with wildlife in a respectful manner.
In addition to collecting marine litter we have also recently joined with Lizzie Carr and Plastic Patrol to offer free sessions of Stand Up Paddleboarding in conjunction with the collection, recording of marine and beach litter.
