Residents and local groups are being urged to join Scottish Sea Farms for a series of organised beach cleans, part of the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) Great British Beach Clean which takes place 20-23 September 2019.
Scottish Sea Farms first took part in the iconic annual event last year, when its Orkney team organised two local beach cleans and collected 600kg of mixed man-made waste.
This year, all three of the company's farming regions, Orkney, Shetland and Scottish mainland, have organised beach cleans and are inviting anyone living or working locally to join them.
Scottish Sea Farms' Managing Director Jim Gallagher said, 'Awareness of the need for us all to be responsible custodians of our environment has never been greater. Getting involved in the MCS Great British Beach Clean is a way to make an immediate and positive difference, complementing the many initiatives underway at company level to reduce waste and strengthen our environmental credentials further.'
Kicking things off on Saturday 21 September will be Scottish Sea Farms' Barcaldine hatchery team who will be out in force to clean Teithil Beach on the banks of Loch Creran.
This will be followed on Sunday 22 September by the Shetland team who will be cleaning the beach around Scottish Sea Farms' shore-base at Clift Sound in Burra. Amongst those expected to join them are players from Shetland Junior Football Association (SJFA) local club teams, all of whom Scottish Sea Farms sponsors via its Heart of the Community initiative.
