As well as cleaning up our coastline, Beachwatch volunteers note down all the items they find in a 100m stretch of beach. Every lolly stick, lost toy or piece of plastic - we record it. This data is hugely important as it helps us track litter back to source, and enables us to campaign for change.

Beach clean organiser training
If you'd like some beach clean refresher training, or are thinking of holding your first beach clean event, we're running a series of free online training sessions. We’ll be covering how to create a beach clean event page, what to bring on the day, how to undertake your litter survey, and how to submit your results. Additionally, you can check out our organiser training videos for a quick refresh.
