Description

All in the detail: 

  • Colour originates from the recovered ghost gear
  • Handmade in Cornwall
  • Material: former buoy and fishing nets
  • Each buoy is unique, with scratches and marks and different levels of sun bleached, therefore may differ slightly from the pictures
  • Waterproof: (its fishing net after all – this stuff is indestructible)
  • Cleaned and sterilised (that’s the hard dirty bit)
  • Star tag measures at 3.5cm x 3.5cm
  • Small buoy size (Looe bay and Looe island) 6.5cm in length
  • Medium buoy size (Polkerris and Lantic Bay) 9cm in length
  • Large buoy size (Whitsand Bay and Polzeath) 13cm in length
  • Extra large buoy (Fowey) 14cm in length

As our products are lovingly made from recycled ghost fishing gear we have found and removed from the ocean, they vary in size and shade.

Like each Behaviour Change Cornwall product – these allows each of our young Cornish team to spend more time out scouring Cornwall clean  – helping make the ocean healthier and wildlife safer.
