1 Beachwatch Big Weekend 2013 Results of the UK annual beach clean and survey Beachwatch Working towards - clean seas and beaches 1
2 Big Weekend the big facts So where does all this rubbish come from? When? Why? 20 th - 23 rd September 2013 MCS coordinates the Beachwatch Big Weekend - it s the biggest national beach litter clean up and survey of its kind in the UK including the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands Public 39.4% Non-sourced 38.1% Fishing 12.6% Shipping 4.5% Who? Where? 4,083 volunteers of all ages and from all over the country cleaned up the coastline All over the place! We cleaned 254 beaches across all parts of the UK This is all the stuff littered routinely by people - we drop it intentionally, leave it behind accidentally, or it arrives on the beach carried on the wind or in rivers. All the bits and bobs that we can t really identify and so don t know where it comes from - generally small things or damaged stuff. Includes commercial and recreational fishing stuff - line, nets, weights, floats. This is all the stuff that gets dropped, lost or thrown overboard - from small craft to massive cargo ships. How far? How much? Our volunteers cleaned an impressive 96.7 km of coastline A whopping 223,405 bits of litter were collected, which equates to 2,309 items found in every kilometre cleaned! Sewage Related Debris 4.3% Fly Tipped 0.9% Medical 0.2% Bags of bags? Volunteers filled a back-breaking 1,970 bags full of beach litter during the Big Weekend The really nasty stuff - bits we put down the loo but shouldn t - cotton bud sticks, tampons, nappies etc. People use some beaches like the local tip - fly-tipping things like furniture, pottery and ceramics. Inhalers, plasters, syringes - you know the sort of stuff! 2 Beachwatch - Beachwatch - 3

4 The MCS Top Ten of Filth - what s really lurking on your beach 20 years of litter misery on our beaches It s a hat trick of appearances for plastic pieces in the number one position in our chart of the Top Ten litter items found on our beaches. Despite a warm and dry summer in 2013, people appeared to drop fewer crisp, sweet and lolly wrappers as that category slipped from 2 to 4, swapping places with caps and lids - whilst plastic drinks bottles dropped from 6 to 9. There s continued good news though for Sewage Related Debris (SRD) - there s still less of it about after we asked people, in 2011, to stop flushing things down the loo that should go in the bin. Rather worryingly, glass is on the move... up to 6 from 9 whilst fishing line from anglers drops out of the Top Litter Item Plastic pieces Caps and lids Polystyrene pieces < 50 cm Crisp/sweet/lolly wrappers String and cord < 1 cm Glass pieces Cigarette stubs Fishing net and net pieces < 50 cm Plastic drinks bottles Rope diameter > 1 cm No. Collected 48,813 14,376 12,813 12,422 11,040 8,167 8,008 7,514 7,395 5,879 Items/km Litter items / km 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 The 2013 Beachwatch Big Weekend was the 20th anniversary event - so it s a bit depressing that the 2013 clean up revealed beach litter at its highest levels for two decades. Over two decades - 59,493 volunteers have taken part in Beachwatch Big Weekend. Thanks to each and every one of you! Over two decades - 5,528,399 pieces of litter have been removed from our beaches. Over two decades - 3,080 km of coastline have been cleaned. Apart from one or two dips, the trend over 20 years is that beach litter is still very much on the rise. MCS hopes that an event we have organised for June 2014 will start to come up with solid solutions to the issue that can be taken forward.

5 Big Weekend Reflections What you tell us about your Beachwatch experience Jane Littlewood on Rossall Beach Paul Greaves at Bawdsey Lindsay Lewis at Sizewell Anna Keirle at Sand Bay Dave Fincham at Orfordness The Beachwatch Big Weekend was another great event at Rossall Beach, Cleveleys. Just outside Blackpool, we re on the Fylde Coast which is one of the most challenged areas with regard to the Revised Bathing Water Directive. 111 volunteers of all ages turned out to enjoy a thankfully dry afternoon, picking up 188kgs of rubbish in 68 sacks. Rossall Beach Residents and Community Group clean beaches every four weeks, looking after this stretch of shingle beach throughout the year, so it was great to get the public along to join in and see some of our Rossall Beach Buddies Roadshow. We re hoping that showing people what the problem is will encourage them to make small changes in their own behaviour both at home and when they are at the beach. Well done everyone. Our Beachwatch was a huge success and went really well, I have to say the group of students we have this year are really conscientious and enjoyed doing this. I may actually ask if they would like to do it monthly - a couple of girls have said they want to do this!! I hope the other ones were as successful as ours, the beach was the cleanest I have seen for a while, a lot of small plastic pieces and netting but nothing big apart from an unopened can of John Smiths beer which luckily a member of staff found before the students. Paul Greaves We completed the official 100 metre survey by approx 11.45am and weighed the bags in at 8.25 kilos. After a fish and chip lunch at the Beach Café (provided by our Company, Magnox Ltd!), we carried on and cleaned another 100 metres of beach and then the main car park, finishing with a grand total of kilos of waste. Lindsay Lewis I have a T-shirt that says, Any day at the beach is a good day. Combine that with a sociable and rewarding activity like an MCS Beach clean and it s instant feel good stuff. Collecting litter is such a simple task with a great measurable result. Seeing that the majority of the items we found were disposable (cotton buds, drinks cartons etc) has caused me to be more mindful of my own rubbish footprint. The logistics on the Ness were rather problematic since we are unable to drive all the way along the spit to Aldeburgh, but we did get the survey done, and quite a bit cleaned otherwise with our 14 volunteers. The highlight find of the day was probably a French bullet-proof vest (with the instruction Ne pas laver still clear on the back). Dave Fincham Dave Fincham 8 Beachwatch - Beachwatch - 9
6 Beachwatch organiser profile Name: David Smethurst Beachwatch History: David cleans Par Sands in Cornwall. He s been a volunteer there for five years, but in September became an organiser. David says: To me cleaning the beach means making a difference however small in protecting the marine environment from the plastic pollution generated by man - the only animal on the planet who delights in destroying everything in the environment During Beachwatch Big Weekend David decided to do a clean everyday between 20 th - 23 rd September. In just four days he collected six bags of rubbish containing 978 items of litter, weighing a total of 21kg. In fact, since becoming a Beachwatch organiser, David has done more than his fair share of cleans building up a clear picture of the situation on Par Sands: In 16 weeks (from 20 th September - 9 th January) David has completed an astonishing 77 surveys, he s collected 113 bags of rubbish weighing 615 kg and has removed 30,264 items of litter from the beach. Washed up David has collected some very strange items: Childs bracelet, a dog whistle, a horse s hoof protector, an Asda token, a screwdriver, cable holder, Lego from 1996, a lobster tag and a pregnancy test kit, to name just a few. In the 20 years that Beachwatch has been surveying and cleaning beaches we ve built up a pretty clear picture of where the rubbish that ends up on beaches comes from. But, knowing where it comes from doesn t stopping it getting there in the first place. We ve got the information, now we need to act on it. In the 20 th anniversary year of Beachwatch it s time to stop blaming and begin working together to take action. A year to make a difference MCS says urgent steps must be taken to reverse the rising tide of beach litter. During June it will be launching its Marine Litter Action Network. Marine Litter Action Network meetings and workshops will take place between June 2014 and June This is no talking shop we will have a year to make a difference and will be presenting the Government with our plans, which we will be asking them to implement as part of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, which gives the Government certain objectives it has to meet.

7 Will England s carrier bag charge do the job? Be a nurd(le) hunter! Confusion as a rubbish public consultation complicates the issue Last September it was announced that a single use carrier bag charge of 5p would be introduced in England in MCS was delighted as it came after years of lobbying, and more recently, as part of the Break the Bag Habit Campaign group and meant England would finally come into line with Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. However, looking at the detail it became clear that the English system is likely to be very different and less inclusive than those in Wales and Northern Ireland. The consultation in 2013 highlighted this. Stuart Askew Exempt in England? Paper bags and biodegradable bags - they re included in Wales and Northern Ireland. The whole point of a charge is to change behaviour and reduce bag use. Therefore, replacing one single use item with another is just not the way to go. Exempt in England? Organisations with fewer than 250 employees. A headache for customers who won t recognize what kind of business it is they are shopping in. A level playing field, including all retailers, would be much simpler and more efficient. Smaller businesses have already voiced their concern that they don t want to be excluded. What s a nurdle? Nurdles are plastic pellets, about the size of a lentil, that are the raw material used to make nearly all plastic objects. The problem with nurdles Nurdles get into our seas through accidental spillage and mishandling by industry. Once in our oceans they are often mistaken for food by animals like seabirds, fish and crustaceans. The Great Nurdle Hunt has been set up by a group of local residents around the coast of the Forth in Scotland concerned about the continuing presence of plastic pellets and other marine litter around the Forth. Blaise Bullimore Cathy Sexton Clare Mcintyre Sign up to our regular enews and keep up to date with further developments on the plastic bag charge. register at Andy Pearson Reporting nurdles is helping to build up evidence to show the local plastics industry the extent of the nurdle pollution. Continue to report your sightings via the Beachwatch Survey - each survey asks you to identify if plastic pellets or nurdles are present on your beach Beachwatch - Beachwatch
8 Are there microplastics in your scrub? A big THANK YOU from MCS to 20 years of fantastic Beachwatch volunteers! There s an App for that An international version of the Beat the Microbead App has been launched, which was previously only available to Dutch consumers. The App works by scanning the barcode of cosmetic products and telling the shopper whether or not the product contains plastic microbeads. How cool is that? Products are divided into the categories: Red - the product contains microbeads. Orange - the product contains microbeads but the manufacturer has pledged to stop using microbeads in the near future. Green - the product does not contain microbeads. Download the App If you want to check products in a more traditional way then plastics can appear as any of these on the ingredients list: Polyethylene / Polythene (PE) Polypropylene (PP) Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) Nylon If you find microbeads in a product that is not on the App, let us know via our website: Ryan Townley Rachel Wyatt 14 Beachwatch - Beachwatch
