Clean UK Beaches
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) organises Beachwatch, a UK nation-wide beach clean-up and litter survey.
Created 4 months ago by Marine Conservation Society (MCS)
Why should you join?
MCS Beachwatch takes place once every year, always on the third weekend of September to coincide with the International Coastal Clean (ICC) up - if you want to do just one beach clean and survey in the year, this is the time to do it! (Don’t forget if you are already registered on the Adopt-a-Beach scheme you can make your autumn survey a MCS Beachwatch survey to ensure its inclusion in the MCS Beachwatch Report).
MCS Beachwatch 2008: 20th-21st September
The MCS Beachwatch litter survey and clean-up is a national event that has taken place on the third weekend of September every year since 1993. Thousands of volunteers from around the UK spend just a few hours of the MCS Beachwatch weekend helping to clean up and survey our coastline.
MCS Beachwatch is the flagship event of the Adopt-a-Beach project. Adopt-a-Beach uses exactly the same method of beach cleaning and surveying as Beachwatch, but the events take place seasonally, 4 times a year. (The majority of Adopt-a-Beach organises carry out their Autumn survey over the MCS Beachwatch weekend)
MCS needs YOUR help to survey and clean as much of the coast as possible during Beachwatch 2008, taking place over the weekend of 20th-21st September. So why not organise a MCS Beachwatch event, get your family, friends and colleagues involved, and make a difference to your local beach!
There are two ways you can get involved - either ‘adopt’ your own beach as a MCS Beachwatch 'Organiser', or help at an organised clean-up and survey event as a 'Volunteer'.
To see what beaches are currently adopted click here. If a beach IS NOT on the list then chances are its available for adoption so you can register as an organiser here
To register as a volunteer you can register here:
