Scottish Coastal Clean Up

Facilitating and assisting with beach cleans around Scotland.🌊🐟♻️ Project of @balancedhorizoncharity Registered Charity No. SC052496
Some days it’s massive creels and tyres. Other days, it’s heartbreak in miniature, like this tiny bay. Tucked at the end of a sea loch, its narrow entrance traps everything the ocean throws at it. What we found was devastating: a shoreline blanketed in plastic confetti. Microplastics everywhere!
On Saturday night, we were at the premiere of the incredible documentary 'Shaping Our Shores', produced by Caledonian Horticulture. The film highlights the vital work being done by SCCU, alongside other charities and passionate individuals, to combat plastic pollution along Scotland’s coastline.
Last Friday in my role as project manager for TTPT i introduced Seashell to Cairnbulg. After surveying the coastline, together we removed a large trawl net & tangles of fishing line & ropes posing entanglement risks. #beachlitter #marinelitter #pollution #environment 📸 jlouisecrawley

Scottish Coastal Clean Up, was inspired during lockdown when Tommy Dale, CEO of Caledonian Horticulture, found a guillemot entangled in a tartan face mask!
