Strandliners have been conducting these surveys for 20 years and have a wealth of experience and knowledge around litter. 

This will be a pick only for the MCS survey (and beyond).<br /> <br /> The survey itself will take place further along the seafront at Oscar's on the Square, St. Leonards, from 10.30 to 12.30, as part of the We Are A Sea event. 

This will be followed by a creative workshop from 12.30 to 4.30, working with a local artist and salvaged beach plastics. All welcome to attend this free event. 

Please ensure you have appropriate footwear for the pick and are prepared for the weather conditions at the time (hat, sunscreen etc).

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.
