The Marine Conservation Society organizes the Great British Beach Clean event with an aim to help experts to tackle and solve the problem of marine waste at 254 beaches across the country. There is a need of volunteers for an annual beach clean in Harwich and Dovercourt.

A pair of shoes and a sealed packet of bacon are some of the unusual items that have been found on Britain's beaches.

The Marine Conservation Society is looking for a record number of people to take part in the Great British Beach Clean event this weekend.

Emma Cunningham, the charity's pollutions campaigns officer, told to Seven Days that at least half of the waste is plastic and they expect that people who love the coast around Dorset will join them. Adding to it, Cunningham said that it is good option to become active in the outdoors and it is also an opportunity to help and to do something for environment.

"We flush stuff down loo we shouldn't, that ends up in our water ways and then our beaches. We want to see people turning out to clean up their local beach during Great British Beach Clean weekend please don't turn your back on beaches", said Tom Bell.

The beach clean events in Dorset included Baiter Park, Chesil Beach, Chesil Cove, , Friars Cliff Beach, Hengistbury Head, Holes Bay, Durdle Door , Lulworth cove, Newton's Cove, Ringstead, Whitley lake, Knoll Beach, Bournemouth, Ham Coomon Seatown, and Worbarrow.

Even if anyone is not able to take part in the Great British Beach Clean this weekend, there are other ways also to help, such as Bag it and Bin it. Always take a cloth bag before going shopping and use a re-useable water bottle. And always take waste at home and don't throw it in open.
