New marine litter fund

Sea Changers have announced a new grant stream which will sit along side the Sea-Changers Grant Programme - A Marine Litter Fund. This will run throughout 2018 and was made possible by a fantastic donation to Sea-Changers by the Gardeners Trust. The Marine Litter Fund has the following objectives:

• To address the root causes of marine litter in the UK.
• To prevent or reduce marine litter impacting on UK coastal and marine environments and / or species.
• To add to the body of knowledge about the nature and impact of marine litter in the UK.

Approximately 60% of this funding will support projects in Scotland with 40% going elsewhere in UK. Evaluation criteria will be the same as for the main grant fund.
