Nurdles are tiny pieces of plastic that have made their way onto our beaches, after a large cargo spillage near Durban.
Help do your part this December holiday by collecting these pesky bits and bringing them through to the Dyer Island Conservation Trust at: 5 Geelbek St, Van Dyks Bay.
Happy Nurdle hunting all.
