I was pleased to help out with a beach clean this weekend, which saw national organisations and locals join together to clean an area of Lincolnshire beach close to the mouth of the Humber. The particular beach area is a black spot for rubbish and is located at an area called Donna Nook which the US military also use as a live bombing range (so anything looking like bombs weren't touched!!
The Marine conservation society were involved and helped out with surveying the crap that was collected (which included tyres, plastic bottles, shoes, tarpaulins etc) and supplying equipment. The local coastgaurds and RSPB were also involved, collecting and helping haul stuff away. The event was also filmed by a Corporate finance company who provided collection bags. It was also great to see local kids involved, enjoying themselves despite chilling Northerly winds!.
