SIF Riof
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.
This is part of the Scottish Island Federation research project where we clean just a 10m stretch finely. We cleaned this same stretch 3 months ago and there were horrific amounts of expanded polystyrene that meant we were only able to deep clean 1m of the 10m stretch.
Beach stretch details
The small shingly beach at Riof village facing Miavig. Many polystyrene beads are found here. SIF collect data from a 10m stretch within the area shown on the map.
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.
