About the event

Come along to Crimdon for our annual Festive Beach Clean, to help make it a better and safer place for wildlife, and us! Bring along your Christmas jumpers, hats, and festive accessories, and all volunteers are welcome to join us at the end of the session for festive treats and hot drinks. 

Marine pollution is one of the biggest threats to our oceans’ health; plastic is found almost everywhere, causing ingestion by or entanglement of marine wildlife. 20,000 tonnes of plastic are dumped in the North Sea each year. 
 
Plastic poses the biggest threat to marine wildlife as it doesn’t just disappear; it simply breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, and has detrimental effects on food chains, working its way up from the tiniest plankton into the bodies of sharks, whales and dolphins. Any litter removed from a natural ecosystem helps wildlife and creates a better space for humans too!
