Marine Conservation Society State of our Beaches 2023 is out - thanks to over 14,000 amazing volunteers 480,000 litter items did not pollute the sea.

The message is loud and clear: regulation works - we need Deposit Return Systems, circular economy measures and investment in sewage infrastructure.

Evidence our Marine Conservation Society beach cleans (carried out by brilliant staff & volunteers across the UK) really help to gather data to push for change 🌊🌎💪 Together, we can help protect our environment ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Glass bottles, plastic bottles and metal drinks cans continue to pollute our beaches and streets.

This survey shows drinks-related litter is up by 14% compared to 2022, highlighting the importance of urgently introducing effective Deposit Return Schemes♻️

Our State of our Beaches 2023 report is out today! What is the state of our beaches? What litter did you find the most of? Are things getting better or worse? 🌊

Seaham beach today. Over 100 bags of rubbish collected alongside at least 60 tyres, ghost fishing gear, hundred's of plastic bottles, rubber pipes etc etc.... It's never ending but we can't leave this rubbish on the beach destroying habitats and killing wildlife.☹️
