I would like to thank the group from Deutsche Bank in Glasgow who spent the day in Inveraray cleaning a number of beach areas. Great progress was made and a huge amount of marine litter collected.

To round off a fantastic day they made a donation of £1,000 to the Marine Conservation Society.

Well the 12 months since our last Beach Watch Big Weekend have gone very quickly.

We are looking for helpers to collect beach litter, complete the survey forms and transport the litter to the recycling point.

We will meet at the Avenue Car Park, Inveraray next the the Recycling Point at 10.30 a.m.

Adopt-a-Beach Inveraray held its first official beach clean event on 19th September 2009 to coincide with the Marine Conservation Society Beachwatch Big Weekend.

Fourteen local volunteers helped clean the beach from Barn Brae to Aray Bridge with more than 650 individual items of beach litter collected, much of which was recycled.

Amongst all the expected tins, bottles and plastics we found a large gas canister, a wheelbarrow, road sign and spade. The results of our beach clean have been submitted to the Marine Conservation Society for inclusion in the Annual UK Beach Litter Survey Report, which will be published in the spring.

We would like to thank the GRAB Trust for the loan of gloves and littler pickers, Bill Nelson from First Aid 4 Gambia who provided First Aid cover for the event and John Munro who prepared a superb barbecue for all the volunteers afterwards.

Due to the great response we will be holding our next clean on the Beachwatch Big Weekend being held over the 18th-19th September 2010.
