Cushendun Beach Clean and Litter Survey
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.
Join us for a Beach Clean & Beachwatch litter survey at the stunning Cushendun Beach on Thursday 24th June at 10:00AM! This event will be led by Claire from the Marine Conservation Society, and is a great opportunity to help protect our coastline, collect valuable litter data, and meet other people who care about the marine environment. 📍 Meeting Point: The green across the road from Glenmona carpark (take care crossing the road) - https://w3w.co/reflected.success.window All equipment will be provided - just bring yourself and plenty of enthusiasm! As this is an outdoor event, please check the weather forecast beforehand and wear suitable clothing and sturdy footwear for beach terrain. We also recommend bringing appropriate UV protection such as sunscreen, hats, and water. Toilets are available in the Glenmona car park. Children are very welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Whether you can stay for the full event or just lend a hand for a while, every piece of litter collected makes a difference. Everyone is welcome! We hope to "sea" you there! 🌊
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.
