Bovisand Ospar Beach Clean - Winter 2027
Join this 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.
This beach is monitored as part of OSPARs North East Atlantic beach litter monitoring programme which requires four surveys a year, once a season. So come on down and help collect some vital data. We will carry out a clean up and survey of 100m of the beach, and collect and record all of the litter we find. This data helps us to know what litter items are becoming a problem and try to find solutions to reduce their impact. We will provide litter pickers, gloves and litter bags
Also worth knowing…
What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).
What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.
Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
