Help pick up litter at Cramond beach clean

VOLUNTEERS are being sought to join a beach clean at Cramond on Saturday.

Residents and volunteers will pick up and record litter from a 100m stretch of the beach, and Marine Conservation Society are looking for more members of the public to get involved.

The event runs 10am-noon and all are welcome. Volunteers should meet at the start of the Cramond Island causeway at 10am and must wear suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear.

The litter survey along the 100m stretch usually takes around an hour, with up to another hour to pick up litter on the remainder of the beach. The information collected from the survey will add to the ongoing monitoring of marine litter around the coast.

Organisers said the last Adopt-a-Beach event at Cramond, held in April, was a "great success" with 65 volunteers picking up 77kg of litter.
