It is a free event and people of all ages are invited. A Sea Life spokesman said: "Did you know that an estimated 26 million tons of plastic pollution ends up in the oceans each year where it chokes, entangles and poisons marine life, and that it kills millions of marine creatures each year? "Plastic bags, disposable cutlery, old phone covers, drink bottles, batteries..
. you name it, we’ve found it. "And unfortunately, it all poses a big threat to our marine creatures, whether it stays in our rivers or gets washed into the ocean.
"We’d love to see you at our next clean event.".
