Winter Beach Clean - Crimdon

Come along to Crimdon and help us clean the beach so it is a better and safer place for wildlife, and us!

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!

Meeting Point: Please meet ready to start at 10am at the top of the steps to the beach, just opposite the Dune's Cafe (TS27 4BL).
