Marine litter and the impact it has on our oceans is in the news almost every day.  A lot of the litter is from unknown sources and washed up on our beaches.

Beach litter is more than just an eyesore, it is potentially harmful to humans and wildlife, and it is costing local authorities in the UK an estimated £14.5 million annually.

Please contact us if you are a community or corporate group who would like to get involved with litter picks – we may be able to help and support you with this by helping provide equipment etc.
