Saturday afternoon on the 21st September saw the Greener Orkney Scapa Beach Clean and BBQ as part of the Highlands and Islands Climate Festival supported by the Highlands and Islands Climate Hub coinciding with the Scottish Government Climate Week. Scapa beach at the Scapa Distillery end had some areas which were particularly bad with marine litter following the recent high tides and strong winds. Examples included some very large tangles of fishing rope as well as large plastic items. In total 13 people attended and we were delighted to see some new beach clean volunteers who also attended other beach cleans the following week as part of the Great British Beach Clean.
