Please remember you are not allowed to remove pebbles from the beaches.

I'my trying to find out a little more about this ...

It would be nice to have a little clarification on any legal implications of taking home a few pebbles ... another soap box issue is the inconsiderate and greedy theft of our beaches rocks/pebbles.

It may be best to check with your local council on specific policy. I for one would be somewhat disillusioned if my children were prevented from taking home a few collected pebbles, it's one of the best ways I've ever come across that promotes a genuine worth and value of natural reasources, ones they'll certainly be entrusted with in xx years to come.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a document please post away ...

Right, from what I can gather after a few minutes searching, it really depends on the local authority. Certain beaches are protected because of particular species of wildlife or plant and need the local stone to balance their natural environment. But as you rightly say Ruth, it's seems to be ok for bulldozers to come in and mass dig away quarter of a pebble beach!! It seems it's all a matter of paperwork! I'll do some more digging and let you know what I discover,:magnify: if I come across any worthwhile sites I'll let you know!

Did you also know it's an offence to remove living seaweed without written permission after giving a good reason and proving your use for it? Dead seaweed also needs permission as you are only allowed to remove so many pieces!
