On the 20th of September, the Final Straw Foundation took part in the Marine Conservation Society’s Great British Beach Clean. This year, the team were joined by Liberty from the Marine Conservation Society on Hayling Island, to film with Richard Gaisford from Good Morning Britain about the Great British Beach Clean and its benefits to our environment. A team of 100 fantastic volunteers worked extremely hard to remove 83 kg from the shoreline. Alongside the volunteers who cleaned nearly 3 miles of coastline, a dedicated team of 5 volunteers from the NHS helped with the Marine Conservation Society survey, meticulously clearing and recording litter in a designated 100m stretch. This had some astonishing results, with over 650 nurdles being removed from the 100m stretch.
