SURFERS Against Sewage, together with The Crown Estate and Selfridges Project Ocean, are launching the annual Autumn Beach Clean Series.

They are calling for people, community groups, schools and businesses in coastal communities to run their own beach cleans during the week of November 2-8.

The clean-up plays a vital role in addressing this marine litter crisis, the groups say.

To register your Autumn Beach Clean, or if you would just like more information on what becoming a lead volunteer entails, contact the SAS Beach Clean Team by emailing beachcleans@sas.org.uk or calling 01872 555942.
