Wardie Bay - Meso Plastic survey and Beach Clean

Join our Beach Watch Assistant on a 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. We will start of the day by collecting meso plastic data to monitor the amount of small plastics we find on our beaches, then we will conduct a litter picking survey to build a picture of what we find on our beaches across the UK. All equipment, including gloves and litter pickers, will be provided. We will meet at 10:30am where you will be briefed on both survey techniques. We will conduct the CEFAS meso plastic survey until around 11:30am and then that will be followed by our litter survey. We welcome everyone to join us for both surveys or one. At the end these will be collected and litter will be weighed. The Beachwatch programme is the only year round beach litter survey in the UK.
