East Lothian beach cleared of rubbish by surfers

3 March 2010

SURFERS took part in a mass clean-up of a beach in East Lothian.

Around 30 people linked up with the Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) National Spring Beach Clean, which covers the UK and is in its 20th year.

The surfers collected more than 30 bags of rubbish from Belhaven Bay, East Beach, Dunbar and Whitesands – to the east of Edinburgh. The rubbish included plastic oil containers, metal railings, shoes, footballs and golf balls.

Dunbar surf school, the Coast to Coast surf school, and Belhaven surf club hosted the event.

Sam Christopherson of Coast to Coast said: "It's shocking how much plastic we found this year on the Dunbar beaches and I would encourage all consumers to buy cardboard or glass whenever possible, and recycle.

"We are keen to educate the grassroots and through our daily surf school lessons with kids and adults we will support SAS's UK-wide initiative.

"We encourage all of our surfers to take one item of rubbish off the beach each time they have surfed."
