GREAT BRITISH BEACH CLEAN 2021

17th - Sunday 26th September 2021

Every September thousands of people from across the UK to take part in the Great British Beach Clean.

The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK.

Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC).This year's Great British Beach 

Clean will take place between Friday 17th - Sunday 26th September 2021.On every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. 

We use this data to campaign for real change.

And we have seen some great results, our data has been used to make a positive impact on our ocean - including the introduction of the plastic bag charge, banning microplastics in personal care products, better wet wipe labelling, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items.

But there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches.
