Charity Beach Buddies says it is honoured and privileged to be included in a documentary on the streaming website Waterbear, alongside some of the world’s biggest environment groups.

A video covering the story of Beach Buddies is featured on the site, which is ’dedicated to the future of our planet’, and where viewers also have the ability to make donations, volunteer, sign petitions.

The video, in which Beach Buddies is one of 80 organisations described as being ’on a mission to save our planet’, has made international headlines because it also features an interview with Prince Harry on climate change.

Beach Buddies founder Bill Dale said: ’This really is a major honour and a privilege for Beach Buddies

’To be on the Waterbear website on the launch day is an honour in itself, but when you look at some of the huge environment and wildlife names (like National Geographic and the World Wildlife Fund) then this places us alongside the best in the world.

’We look on this as a significant international endorsement for Beach Buddies and the Isle of Man.’

Filming of the Beach Buddies Waterbear documentary took place on the island during 2019, following an earlier visit to the island in 2018 by Ellen Windemuth, founder of the Waterbear Network, based in Holland.
