Aquamarine Power takes to the beach
19 Apr 11 - Linsey Morrice, Human Resources Assistant
On Saturday our Edinburgh and Orkney teams, with their friends
and families, took part in the second Marine Conservation Society
Beach Clean of 2011. Much of the litter and waste in and
around our seas harms precious wildlife and is hazardous to human
life. Taking part in this coastal environmental initiative is
close to our hearts. MSC Beach Clean is a national event and
is one of the most influential ways to fight against marine
litter.
It was fairly brisk down at the shore in Cramond although it was
an enjoyable sunny bright morning all the same! The team in Orkney
were well kitted out for some serious beach cleaning as you can see
from the photo below!
Across both Cramond and Orkney we had a great turn
out, with some experienced beach cleaners and new comers taking
part. Having recorded everything we found - from pieces
of cloth and plastic to cans, string and bottles - we headed off
for well deserved tea and scones! We hope to see you at the
next Beach Clean…visit the Marine
Conservation Society website to find out more.
