Marine Conservation Society

MCS Beachwatch Big Weekend is the only volunteer beach clean-up and survey in the UK. Over the weekend of the 17th and 18th of September 2011, 335 beaches were cleaned by 4,375 people who went to their local beach to make a big difference.

We use the information in our campaigns and in the lobbying we do locally, nationally and internationally to take action on marine litter both at home and abroad.
