There is no doubt that marine litter, and in particular plastic, is a problem for beaches across the UK, and Edinburgh is no different!

Join the Edinburgh Shoreline project and our friends at the CleanFerry Trust for a beach clean at South Queensferry as part of the Great British Beach Clean.

Sunday 16th September, 10.30am-12pm

Meet at the carpark just West of the Hawes Pier, Newhall Road, South Queensferry, EH30 9TB. Depending on numbers attending we will potentially target different beaches along South Queensferry.

This event will be outdoor so please wear suitable clothing/footwear.

There are a number of different beach cleans also happening across Edinburgh throughout the weekend of the Big British Beach Clean:

Friday 14th September, 10am-12pm, Portobello Beach

Saturday 15th September, 10am-12pm, Cramond Beach

Sunday 16th September 11am-1.30pm, Wardie Bay
