Equipped with litter pickers and bin liners, dedicated AAM employees took to Whitstable Bay, Kent, on November 3rd, where they battled the early winter conditions in a bid to collect all litter in sight. Executed across the east side of the bay, the initiative found a mass of fragmented plastic, glass bottles, cans and personal protective equipment scattered across the pebbled tourist hotspot, posing a threat not just to local residents, but to the environment and local wildlife.

With the UK facing another nationwide lockdown before winter, Operation Beach Clean will resume later in 2021.In August this year, it was reported that coastal UK authorities are already finding high levels of single-use PPE, such as masks, gloves and wipes, discarded across the British coastline, in addition to a substantial quantity of bottles and cans left over from beachgoer barbeques.

According to Surfers Against Sewage, approximately 5,000 items of marine plastic pollution have be found per mile across UK beaches, however with the help of local communities and environmental initiatives, we can all help to combat coastal pollution by ensuring litter is disposed of correctly.

Arts Alliance Media CEO Howard Kiedaisch said, “Despite COVID-19 restrictions, we have remained committed to our corporate social responsibility initiatives. Environmental welfare is a global issue and exercises like this prove that together we can make a big difference in reducing pollution.”

With the UK facing another nationwide lockdown before winter, Operation Beach Clean will resume later in 2021.
