2018 Great British Beach Clean

This year's Great British Beach Clean will take place on Friday 14 to Monday 17 September.

The information volunteers have collected over the last 25 years has helped make some of the most significant impacts on beach litter ever - the plastic bag charge, micro plastics banned in personal care products, better wet wipe labelling, and massive support for a tax on 'on the go' plastic single use items.

But it's not job done. Marine Conservation Society need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter, and you can help.
