Beach Littering Education has a big role to play with beach visitors encouraged not to litter but take their waste home or put it in a bin. More beach litter bins, signage and warning of litter fines are needed Increased surveillance of beaches and more severe fines must be considered The Marine Conservation Society’s Beachwatch volunteers clean up about 370 beaches each year over a September weekend Tidy Britain Group Quality Coast Awards have achieved great improvements in high standards of UK beach management Most packaging carries the ‘Tidyman” symbol reminding consumers to put their rubbish in a bin. http://www.bpf.co.uk/Press/Marine_Litter.aspx 37% of people leave litter on beaches. Plastic is so hard torecycle. Remember we live in a natural world, not a plastic one. |

| Some of our beachers are filthy, beaches in Skegness can be a total mess, ecspecially during the summer. I admit though when I was a kid I used to do it alot with intentions thinking someone would clean it up, but as I got older I learned I shouldn't be doing it and never done it since |

| Things are the same here, too, unfortunatley. There are beaches which don't have enough garbage bins and many people are too lazy to put the litter in a bag. However on some beaches, litter bins have been placed every 10 meters or so, and there has been an improvement in the beaches cleanlliness. |

see it's down to the local goverment and each other, it be good to just please be aware, we also forget that animals it's their home whether from living in the sea or birds on the shore. These creatures can get hurt and we forget they don't have vets to go to and get healed. It's really sad and I am not saying that no beach is perfect, some probably are. What I am saying is to have a warming awareness that we all live together on the planet. Does anyone know what makes a beach a blue flag beach? esp the UK for example. I am sure that other places have equiv too. matt |

| Its like that here too, but also unfortunately...the garbage bins they have around the place also over fill. And Crows, Seagulls and Magpies scavenge them and pull stuff out. |
