Cleaning up Cramond

Down to Cramond beach at the weekend to to support in the Beachwatch litter survey and clean up organised by the Marine Conservation Society. About 20 volunteers were there, as part of this UK wide campaign, along with myself and local Green MSP Robin Harper. As well as cleaning up the beach (and looking at how the litter and rubbish found this year compared with last), it was also an opportunity to highlight the need for Marine Acts at both UK and Scottish level to give proper protection to our vulnerable marine environments.
