Seaham Coastal Rangers: The Great British Beach Clean at Red Acre Beach
About the event
We will note down all the items we find and report our findings to the Marine Conservation Society. This data is important as it helps track litter back to the source.
Whilst litter picking on the beach we will also be keeping an eye out for marine treasure left behind by the tide such as egg cases.
Coast Rangers is a group of young people with an awareness and passion for their local coast.
They are the guardians for Seaham’s coastline with a commitment to explore and protects it’s precious tidal habitats.
Rangers is aimed at a community 10 – 14 year-olds who will have access to a range of exciting hands-on opportunities, activities and tasks linked to the Seaham Coast. They will assume a sense of custodianship for the area and will be involved in its care and development.
Rangers will run initially as a Seascapes supported project with a view to becoming an independent, autonomous group by summer 2024. The group will meet monthly.
