Litter picks and beach cleans for Preventing Plastic Pollution

8th July 2022 @ 11:00 am 12:00 pm

We are carrying out public litter picks throughout 2022 as an external expert for Preventing Plastic Pollution (PPP)!

Join us at these one hour events 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 Plymouth, and will use these 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 are open to all members of the public!

All equipment will be provided, just bring some enthusiasm!

We love it when historic vessels pass through the marine park. Such a lovely sight πŸ’™

This is the Lynher Tamar River barge. It was built in 1896 and underwent a restoration in 1990s. Now it is used for education workshops and sailing experiences around #PSNMP and the River Tamar.

We're looking forward to those after work swims in the summer months. 🏊

It can't come quick enough for those of us who aren't brave enough to dive in when the sea temperature is below 10 degrees!
