Over the winter we had some terrible storms. During this time I had been reading about ‘shifting baseline syndrome’, which refers to a ‘continuous lowering of standards and acceptance of degraded natural ecosystems’*, measured from a baseline set by each generation of observation. I thought about how this would apply to our beaches. I see the beach, I see it littered with plastic and rubbish - yet my kids see the beach simply as a beach. They see the detritus but this has become their normal, this is how a beach looks within their generation. Beach cleans & picking up plastic waste goes hand in hand with the sea. Within the bay, amongst the tangle of seaweed, plastic & detritus they still see beauty. With the acceptance of each generation resetting the baseline, we slowly lose site of the original environment and what we have truly lost.
