Introduction

In 2019 the Scottish Islands Federation (SIF) identified that there was no group from the Scottish Islands that looked at the problem of Marine Litter which was coming ashore. SIF formed a group which consisted of representatives from the islands who were involved in beach cleans and marine litter removal.

 

The SIF Marine Litter Working Group also participates in responding to Government consultations on items affecting Marine Litter, promote the need for more action and link into advisors and research being undertaken.

 

The SIF-Marine Litter Working Group has recently published its Marine Litter Strategy If you think you may be able to help please can you contact us on marinelitter@scottish-islands-federation.co.uk
