This month The Scottish Costal Clean Up team ventured to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Despite its remote location and being known for its idyllic beaches, Lewis, like many coastal areas around Scotland is unfortunately also plagued by huge amounts of plastic pollution washing in onto its shores. The team mainly focused their beach cleaning to a stretch of coastline along the west coast and together with members of the Breanais community, were able to remove around 3 tonnes of marine litter. Many items cleared were not local, including large numbers of drink bottles from multiple countries!
