Big Spring Beach Clean Gallery
Something special happened on 181 of our beaches over the 27th, 28th & 29th of March. A truly inspiring 6000 people braved wild, wet and windy conditions to join us for our biggest ever Big Spring Beach Clean and removed a whopping 25 TONNES of marine litter from the UK coastline. Making a real and noticeable difference to the health of our oceans, beaches, waves and wildlife.
The images and stories below represent just a tiny handful of those that have been flooding in to us from across the UK since the Big Spring Beach Clean but we hope they help tell the story of a most incredible weekend!?
