If you are planning an anti-litter campaign for Requirement 4, our Action for the ocean activity will help you understand that no matter where you live, stopping litter at source can help save our seas. Our Marine litter fact file gives some useful background information that you could use in the campaign.

You could record the litter you find on our data form and upload it to the national Source to Sea database. The data collected will form part of the evidence base we use to help us campaign for change. For example, we’ve used data collected in previous years to make the case for the 5p carrier bag charges across the UK.

Bathroom waste is the least recycled in the UK.

As part of Requirement 2, you could audit the products everyone uses in the bathroom to consider how to recycle more and aim for a zero waste bathroom.

For Requirement 3, you could take part in World Ocean Day, a UN day held every year in June to recognise Sustainable Development Goal 14, ‘Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources’. To mark the event you could organise a Big Blue Day of ocean-themed activities and fundraise for us by holding an event, selling items or taking on a challenge. Try to make any event you run ocean friendly by going plastic free.
