Global Ocean helped SAS to continue its award winning Beach Clean Tour which has been a huge success. Over the course of the project SAS has engaged over 2000 youth volunteers who have removed thousands of kilos of marine litter from beaches across the UK.

A large part of the project was educating beach users about the issue of marine litter and how they can make behavioural change to mitigate their impact. This included teaching volunteers about how they can tackle marine litter through campaigning, SAS has distributed thousands of Think Before You Flush & No Butts on the Beach stickers as well as No Butts on the Beach ashtrays. Giving volunteers the tools to take part in the Return To Offender Campaign also means that everybody can take action against the root causes of marine litter and encourage the manufactures to change their packaging which will ultimately lead to a reduction in marine litter.
