Additional information: 

Please join us on George Street shore in the town centre on Friday 20th September where we will be supporting the Global Climate Strike by contributing to international data on marine plastics.

Meet on George Street beach – the main street – access via the slipway on the opposite side of the road to the distillery and shops. We'll be there from 10:30 – 12:00

We’ll be carrying out a survey of the 100m survey area (the high tide to the back of the beach) and a wider clean up too. This beach is cleaned on Wednesdays by New Hope volunteers and other groups regularly too. Come and see how this activity can make an incredible difference to our coastlines whilst we try to reduce waste at source.

You can take part as you wish, picking up, the survey or both.

Everyone welcome. Children and young people under sixteen, please bring a well-behaved adult with you.

Equipment provided but please do bring your own protective gloves and a bucket if you have them.

Please dress for the weather and boots or sturdy shoes are of course recommended.

Remember your water bottle, suncream and midge cream...just in case (preferably the sunshine!)

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you

Janie, MCS Sea Champion, Footprint Alba
