Bude Marine Group and Preventing Plastic Pollution Great British Beach Clean
Join this beach clean to help us stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data that we can use to bring about positive change for our seas.
Join Bude Marine Group and Westcountry Rivers Trust’s (WRT) Preventing Plastic Pollution team for a MCS beach clean and survey on Summerleaze beach in Bude.
To conduct the survey, you will be divided into groups with one person collecting data while the others litter pick. All equipment will be provided but do bring your own gloves or litter pickers if you can.
Find out more about WRT’s work to prevent plastics getting into the River Tamar from source to sea at wrt.org.uk/project/preventing-plastic-pollution-ppp/.
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.
