110,000 volunteers have collected and
recorded 6,000,000 pieces of litter along
4,815km of coastline to build a 21-year dataset

2011
Beachwatch data helps persuade Welsh
Government to introduce a single use bag levy.
Supermarkets report up to a 96% drop in bags
handed out.
2012
Northern Ireland follows suit.
2014
Scotland puts levy into place.
2015
England introduces weaker version next week!
Break
the bag
habit!

MCS contracted by Defra to run litter monitoring on 19 beaches
around the UK, 4 times per year for the next three years.
Data feeds into the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)
to monitor UK progress against Descriptor 10 target - ‘a reduction
of visible marine litter on beaches’.

1. What does Seasearch do?
2. Seasearch Data
3. Making Recording RelevantAreas
• Coordinated by MCS, working with
WTs;
• Survey dives all round the coasts of
UK and Ireland;
• Record rare, unusual and climate
change indicator species; non-native
species; human impacts – fishing
and litter.
• Target gaps in current knowledge;
priority species and habitats; existing
and potential MPAs throughout UK
waters.

Biodiversity Record Centres
• All species data available to use via
the National Biodiversity Network.
• Seasearch dataset comprises:
– 17,000 survey dives
– 505,000 species records
– 59,000 habitat records
Data used in UK MPA processes.
