Beach & Marine Education

The Beaches and Marine Litter Project aims to raise awareness and educate on the impacts of litter on beaches and the marine environment. By engaging local schools and community groups in workshops and carrying out regular clean ups, we help to reduce the unsightly marine litter problem Plus providing fun, educational workshops that encourage behaviour change to stop the litter at source.

Arrochar and the waste of the world. This is a PDF of notes provided to the GRAB Trust by Mary Haggarty, a lifelong resident of Arrochar. It was created by Waste Stories, a project using the affective power of story-making to try to change people's relationships with waste and the resources that end up in the waste stream. Our thanks to Dr Anna Wilson, Waste Stories, The University of Glasgow and the Leverhulme Trust for this PDF. PLease click image below to read report.
