Join us - Coastal Marvels & Friends of Troon Beaches,<br /> for Barassie Beach Clean with Survey for Marine Conservation Society<br /> and be a part of April - Citizen Science Month!

We will meet at 5pm on Saturday 27th of April and after initial safety breefing will collect the litter from a 100m strech of Barassie Beach (opposite of the rocky area).

All the litter will be categorised, weighed, and a survey will be filled. Thereafter, the survey results will be submitted to the MCS.

Children welcome but parents/carers must sign permission document prior to the start of the beach clean!

Please bring your gloves, sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing. We will supply litterpickers and bags.

We are searching for 15-20 people.<br /> Please book your space via message

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
