Take part in a local beach clean
Each year, approximately 12 million tonnes of plastic contaminates the ocean, with 9.5 million tonnes having been directly swept into the water from land.
Help clean up our local beaches to reduce the amount of plastic that enters our oceans and its harmful effects on marine life. Let's restore our beaches to their natural litter-free beauty.
