Lundy - No Take Swim

2 years ago I watched the BBC Wild Isles and was inspired by David Attenborough’s call to arms around the importance of no-take zones 👍 These zones are areas of the ocean where all fishing and extractive activity is banned 🎣 This allows fish stocks to recover and creates overspill which benefits local fishing community’s 🐟 In addition, the additional protection for marine life will enable them to thrive and creates wildlife tourism opportunities 🦭 There are 4 such places in the UK and last summer I swam across 3 🏊‍♂️ With one remaining I set off with Gemma and the Lundy Diving team to swim across the Lundy No Take Zone 🌊 Sitting 20 miles off the Devon Coast this marine haven is an iconic destination and a once in a lifetime place to swim 🏊‍♂️ With sunny skies, 18-degree water and a nice swell the conditions were perfect ☀️ With the arrival of my son Erik 3 months ago my training was obliterated and I found the waves hard going 😥 But it felt incredible to be out there in the No Take Zone, crashing through the surf and keeping an eye out for Grey Seals and Basking Sharks 🦭 I also felt so privileged and grateful to be supported by my wife Serena back on land with Erik. It felt so special to be able to swim across such an important marine zone 🌊 I hope to inspire Erik to share a passion for protecting wildlife. It felt great to have him be part of the expedition 👶🏽 As the swim continued the waves picked up making for limited visibility. But just knowing that those denizens of the deep could be below was a magic feeling 🐟 🦈 🦭 🦀 🦞 So a huge thank you to the Lundy Diving team and here’s looking forward to the creation of the next No Take Zone wherever that may be… Music: Magnesid from Pixabay Edit and Videography: Middle Brother Calum SUBSCRIBE TO JOIN THE ADVENTURE
