About the event

 

The pollution being seen in the after math of the collision is made up of burnt material and plastic nurdles. The risks posed by plastic nurdles increase when other pollutants become stuck to them. Members of the public are being urged to report nurdle sightings but to avoid touching them as they may have toxic pollutants stuck to them. Updates regarding the incident and clear-up operation will be shared here

 

Everyone is invited to join this important effort to keep our coastline pristine and protect its incredible wildlife before the bird nesting season really starts.  

For this beach clean we are being joined by the Coastline Runner, the Mayor of Skegness, Adrian Findley, along with local councillors, demonstrating the community’s commitment to protecting our coastal environment. 

What better way to kick off your Sunday with a two hour beach clean!
 
Every bit we can do makes a difference so why not come along and help us to keep Gibraltar Point’s beach clean. 

All necessary equipment will be provided, and Lincolnshire County Council will collect and properly dispose of all waste gathered during the clean-up.

All ages welcome.
