Skye Beach Cleans (SCIO)
At Skye Beach Cleans, we are dedicated to tackling marine litter on our local beaches. We organise beach cleanup events, set up beach clean stations, and conduct regular litter surveys in partnership with various environmental and community organisations. With a board of six trustees, we work to raise funds, support local communities in shoreline cleanups, and improve the recycling and repurposing of marine litter.
