The Big 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.
THE BIG BEACH CLEAN! As part of MCS yearly survey, The 2 Minute Foundation are heading back once again to the same spot on Crooklets Beach to pick, identify and contribute to the data needed to tackle to on-going plastic pollution crisis. Whether you can spare 10 minutes or stay for the whole session, every piece of litter collected makes a difference. Beach cleans are a great way to get outdoors, meet like-minded people, and make a visible difference to our local environment, and this one is even more special as we will be collecting data that feeds into the Marine Conservations Society yearly survey. 📍 Meeting point: Crooklets beach – on the right hand side near the surf club (look out for our big whale flag!) ⏰ Time: 11-1 pm
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.
