CLIA UK & Ireland is joining the Maritime Conservation Society?s Great British Beach Clean on two dates in September and is urging cruise lines, media and travel agent members to sign up and take part.
CLIA places are available at two events September 14 at 09:30 in West Wittering, West Sussex and September 17 at 10:15 in Formby Freshfield, Lancashire.
Andy Harmer, the association's UK and Ireland director, said: ?Working to maintain clean oceans and beaches is crucial. No single industry relies more on the splendour of our planet?s oceans and seas, nor the pristine beauty of the world?s harbours and seaside communities than the cruise industry. We are delighted to be joining The Great British Beach Clean as part of our ongoing sustainability work.?
The Great British Beach Clean is the biggest beach clean and survey in the UK and provides an insight into the litter problems our seas and oceans are facing. Almost 7,000 people took part in the Great British Beach Clean in September 2017 and removed 255,209 pieces of litter from 339 beaches.
To take part in the events CLIA members are able to register at cruiseexperts.org
