Withernsea Beach Clean with The Deep
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.
Become a citizen scientist for the day and join our Crew on Monday 24th August 2026 between 1pm-3pm, to take part in a FREE beach clean at Withernsea Beach! Beach cleans are a fantastic way to get involved in keeping your local coastline free of litter to protect the environment and our native marine species. Each piece of litter collected on our beach cleans is identified, weighed and recorded before being responsibly disposed of. The data collected goes towards the Marine Conservation Society’s national survey as part of the Beachwatch National Beach Cleaning programme, which is used to help raise public awareness of the impact of litter on the environment.
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.
