About the event

We've joined forces with the Marine Conservation Society and Big Microplastic Survey to get a better picture of microplastics around the UK coast. This data contributes to essential scientific research which can then be used as evidence to change pollution policies and legislation.

Together we'll learn the survey method and then carry out a survey. We'll then sort the plastics and record it.
