Activities and learning

If you're keen to take action for your beach, here's some suggestions and support:

Carry out a litter pick

Whether you're a beach local or a visitor, you can play a small part to help keep the sand and sea clean for everyone to enjoy. Join in a group litter pick, or do your own. 

Head over to Clean Up Scotland for guidance and to get started.

                                                      

Do a litter count

Another way you can help the campaign this year is by helping to track the amounts and types of litter on the beach and helping build both a local and a national understanding of the issue. This is vital for monitoring and for local campaigning.
