Plastic pollution continues to plight the Ocean and the animals who call it home.
That’s why we are carrying out public litter picks through 2022 as an external expert for Preventing Plastic Pollution (PPP).
These one hour events are great to help clean up Plymouth’s Waterfront and become part of an international citizen science research project. We are committed to reducing avoidable plastics in our home town of Plymouth, and will use the litter picks to encourage more people to take part in the PPP Ocean outreach programme.
These litter picks will be led by our staff and open to all members of the public.
All equipment will be provided, just bring some enthusiasm!
If you’re interested in taking part simply click on the button below to register! Once you’ve done that, we will email you regarding upcoming dates and information for the litter picks.
