Fife Climate Hub Beach Clean - St Andrews
On the 15 July 2025 we will running a beach clean in St Andrews.
Marine Conservation Society (MCS) has been running beach cleans and their flagship event, Great British Beach Clean, for 25 years. Every year, staff and volunteers head to beaches up and down the coast to collect litter and record data about what they find, contributing to citizen science. So far 319 tonnes of litter at the Great British Beach Clean events have been collected. This informs various projects MCS are involved with, and is shared with the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC), contributing to a worldwide report on litter levels. All this data has helped inform new policies to tackle beach litter and plastic pollution in the UK such as the plastic bag charge, a ban on microplastics in personal care products and better wet wipe labelling
On the proposed date of the 15/7/25 we will running a beach clean in St Andrews. We will have litter pickers, bags and clipboards but if you have your own please bring them as numbers will be limited. Unlike other litter picks you might have done we will be collecting of a survey of the litter collected. These surveys are the most important part of the day other than having some fun on the beach with like-minded people
