Marine Scotland Staff Clean Up: 10 December 2015
December 16, 2015 by Marine Directorate Communications No Comments | Category Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science, Marine Litter
Not one to let a bit of cold weather, and a lack of helpers deter him, our intrepid litter-picker-upper, Danny Pendrey, ventured out last week to keep on top of the beach litter and ensure all the fantastic clean-up work him, and his team, have done isn’t in vain.
Totals to date are:
- Bottles and cans recycled total = 3,834;
- Full bin-bags of waste total = 183 and
- Person effort, in minutes, collecting = 14,870 (248 hrs).
Keep up the good work Danny and don’t let the frost bite!
