Beach Care
Beach Care is everyone’s responsibility. We need to keep our seas and beaches as clean as they can be!
Obviously people are responsible for dropping litter – sometimes not deliberately as the strong winds can blow litter without us meaning to drop it.
But a lot of it is washed up from the sea, coming to us from lands both near and far, and from shipping.
Here at Cleveleys, Rossall Beach Residents & Community Group look after the northern, pebbly stretch of the seafront.
Meanwhile, the sea is tested in central Cleveleys throughout the summer season, as it is at all designated bathing water beaches all around the UK. It has to meet stringent standards of cleanliness to be declared suitable for bathing.
How you can help
Small changes in our behaviour can lead to an improvement in water quality. Beach care and conservation doesn’t start and stop at what it looks like.
It’s a home to so many creatures of all sizes. Litter, for example, string from balloons, rope and fishing line gets tangled around birds, mammals and fish. Then they can’t feed themselves, starve and die.
Plastic is ground down into small pieces – floating in the water it looks like jellyfish to fish, mammals and birds. They eat it, and with a stomach full of plastic, they then starve to death. But it’s also how plastic gets into our food chain too.
Our shoreline and beach is a wonderful and precious resource that we should all look after and enjoy. Have a read through the pages in this section to find out more.
