The Nurdle hunt is back!
About this event
We are delighted to resume the nurdle hunt scheduled for Saturday November 5th from 9-10 a.m together with the Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas.
Nurdles are tiny around 3-4 mm in diameter pre-produced plastic pieces that are harmful for the marine environment, and the marine and terrestrial wildlife as they might be mistaken for food. Estimate how many nurdles need to be melted and shaped to form a plastic bottle? A minimum of 600.
Together with Saadiyat Rotana Resorts & Villas the Natural History Group wants to raise awareness about the impacts of plastic pollution along the coast.
Lets see how many nurdles we can find during our 1hour long beach walk.
We hope to fill a large container with the harmfull waste.
Please bring:
-a container to collect the nurdles
-a reusable water bottle
-sun hat and suncreen
