Great British Beach Clean (3rd weekend in Sep)
Date & time: 
Saturday, 21 September 2019 - 10:30am - 11:30am
Meeting location: 
Sea Life Centre Tunnel Entrance
Additional information: 

It's estimated that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile of the ocean - a statistic which is incredibly easy to prevent by using plastics responsibly and picking up litter when you see it.

However many people don't behave in this way and the problem is getting worse - which is why we're determined to make this year our most successful for beach cleans.

Please note we have very limited numbers of litter pickers, so they will be lent out on a first come first served basis, so if you have your own, please feel free to bring them. All volunteers should be wearing weather appropriate clothing, study footwear and gloves.

A sign in station will be positioned at the entrance to the Sea Life tunnel on Beach level, where the risk assessments will be available for reading and signing, survey sheets and equipment will also be signed out (and back in) from this location.
