Additional information: 

RSPB Scotland's Dolphinwatch are joining up with Surfers Against Sewage for our first beach clean of the new year.

Start of the New Year by giving back to your local community and helping to protect the local wildlife by joining us for what we hope will be our biggest beach clean of the year (although we will try to beat it!).

We will be meeting on the lower deck of the esplanade opposite the beach ballroom on Saturday 12 January 2019. The clean will start at 10:30 and we will meet back at 12:30 to sort the litter and take a group photo of our efforts.

All equipment will be provided, including gloves, little picks and bags. Everyone is welcome to join us as we will be trying to spread out as far along Aberdeen Beach as we can to collect as much litter as possible.

Every piece of litter we collect helps protect wildlife and allows us to enjoy spending time on beaches that are clean and safe.

To help ensure the safety of all involved, more information on times will be provided once tide times can be determined.
