Can you help clean beach?
Published at 11:45, Monday, 01 September 2008
VOLUNTEERS are needed to help clean up a Cumbrian beach.
A survey and litter picking exercise, to be held at St Bees on Sunday, September 21, aims to identify what kind of litter and how much of it is getting washed up on Cumbrian beaches.
It is hoped that the results of the survey will prevent some rubbish ending up in the sea and curb the danger this has on local wildlife.
The event is part of a national project known as Beachwatch which is part of the Adopt-a-beach scheme - which is a national Marine Conservation Society initiative to involve local communities to survey and collect beach litter.
The clean-up is being organised with help from Copeland Council.
Anyone interested in getting involved should contact Lucy Dunn, on 07787 112665.
