St Abbs Aquarium Beach Clean - Summer 2026
We are collecting beach litter with two aims: to help keep our local beach clean while contributing to MCS's data set and to locate supplies to make art sculptures in a workshop held in St Abbs Aquarium the next day with the fantastic local artist Scapa Joe. Make sure to check the weather beforehand to work out what to bring as there might be rain, shine or a bit of both! We aim to start at 5:30pm so if people could arrive 10/15 minutes earlier to hear our briefing and to get down to the beach that would be fantastic. For those with access to their own gloves and any other litter picking equipment please do bring them along, we will try to supply equipment but resources may be limited. The beach is mostly sandy, but wear sensible shoes as there are some rocky parts to navigate. We can't wait to sea you there!
