East Head beach clean
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.
As part of the usual beach clean of East Head we will have the opportunity to undertake a beach litter survey as part of the Great British Beach Clean. It will need to started ideally about 2 hours after high tide, which will be about 11.30am. It will cover a 100m stretch of beach and we record all the litter we find, then submit to the Marine Conservation Society as part of the Great British Beach Clean. This part of the beach clean is optional and the whole group is not obliged to take part as other parts of East Head will benefit from a litter pick.
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.
