Little Tern Farewell Beach Clean - Seaton Carew Beach

Join us for a Beach Clean at Seaton Carew to help cleanup the area, following the departure of the Little Terns! Marine pollution is one of the biggest threats to our oceans’ health; plastic is found almost everywhere, causing ingestion by or entanglement of marine wildlife. 20,000 tonnes of plastic are dumped in the North Sea each year. Plastic poses the biggest threat to marine wildlife as it doesn’t just disappear; it simply breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, and has detrimental effects on food chains, working its way up from the tiniest plankton into the bodies of sharks, whales and dolphins.

Any litter removed from a natural ecosystem helps wildlife and creates a better space for humans too! All litter picking equipment & bags supplied Please wear clothes and sturdy footwear suitable for the weather. Paid parking is available on site at the Seaview Car Park (TS25 1DE) Toilet facilities available nearby, adjacent to the Seaview car park (TS25 1DE) - 30p charge The nearest bus stop is found at the Seaton Carew Bus Station Access to the beach includes a gentle decline/incline
