Bournemouth Oceanarium Monthly Beach Clean

The first Sunday of every month at 2pm, the Bournemouth Oceanarium will be hosting a public beach clean were everyone is welcome. We will supply the litter pickers, waste bags, disposal bins, recording sheets and clipboards so simply bring yourself, a sturdy pair of shoes, adequate clothing, sun cream (depending on forecast) and any friends or family to help. The beach clean will run from 2pm-3pm however you do not have to stay for the full length of time. Whether you help for 2 minutes or for the full hour, it all helps reduce plastic from entering our oceans!

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
