Aberdeen City Litter Project
Aberdeen City Litter Project
Following a successful application to Aberdeen City Council’s Coastal Communities Fund, the East Grampian Coastal Partnership has been awarded £4,000 to begin community engagement and education work in the City area.
The Crown Estate fund was made available to groups and projects looking to carry out work to benefit coastal communities. Through its ongoing marine litter campaign Turning the Plastic Tide, the Partnership has run over 60 community beach cleans and delivered marine litter education sessions in schools across parts of Aberdeenshire and Angus.
The new funding from Aberdeen City Council will allow similar work to be carried out in the city, including distribution of new marine-themed education materials to primary school and the introduction of Turning the Plastic Tide’s new ‘Take 4 for the Shore’ initiative.
Preparations to get the project up and running are being made this month (October 2020), with an official launch anticipated for early November 2020.
Further details and updates are available on the EGCP website: www.egcp.scot and on social media.
