On 17th and 18th March 2012, we cleared three of Eigg's beaches of marine
waste.
Most of what we found was rope, twine, broken fishing boxes or crates and nets from fishing boats. Next most popular was engine oil canisters, milk & other bottle tops, food/sweet wrapping and plastic bottles.
From Laig, Shell & Kildonan beaches, we collected enough rubbish to fill a skip.
Singing Sands beach is still to be done (at 24th March 2012). Because of its position it gathers a lot of waste, washed in by storms and the tide. This will be cleared later this spring/summer. All volunteers welcome!
