Recently, The Scottish Costal Clean Up have been joining forces with great organisations like The Scottish Seabird centre in North Berwick, Keep Scotland beautiful and the Berwickshire Marine Reserve to help tackle the huge amounts of rubbish that has been washed in on the East Coast of Scotland. The winter storms have been particularly brutal this year and the team estimate that they have removed over 10 tonnes of washed-up creels and rope in East Lothian alone. Some of the team have recently completed their Powerboat handling level 2 course. The plan is to use their boat on upcoming beach cleans to access difficult locations, where it often isn’t possible or practical to remove any collected rubbish by land.
