Big Beachwatch Beach Clean Weekend
“Beachwatch is the Marine Conservation Societies’ coastal environmental initiative, involving local individuals, groups and communities in caring for their coastal environment. Beachwatch Big Weekend is now in its 18th year with thousands of volunteers taking part every year, making it the most influential fight against marine litter in the UK. Beach litter injures many animals each year when they ingest it or become tangled in it. This work makes a massive difference to the protection of marine wildlife.”
