Brilliant to see years of advocacy and campaigning by @mcsuk culminate in this law. We'll continue to make sure that the legislation is successfully implemented, together with @reloop@keepbritaintidy@aprscotland@sascampaigns
Campaign win! Last night a motion to approve Deposit Return Scheme regulations was approved in the House of Commons 🙌 Last year 97% of UK beaches we surveyed were polluted with bottles and cans, posing threat to marine life like seabirds and seals

Great to hear from Nature Minister, @MaryCreagh_ , how important @mcsuk beach clean data has been in supporting introduction of new deposit return system and moving towards an economy based on repair, reuse, refill and recycling. Crucial for nature, climate and ocean.
Our beach clean data shows that high levels of single-use items are still being littered on our beaches! Today our CEO, @Luk_Sandy attended an important government roundtable to discuss steps to move towards a circular economy ♻️

Oyster restoration milestone! We're excited to announce that as part of the DEEP project we've now deployed 100,000 native oysters into the Dornoch Firth, Scotland
The first few native oysters were placed in 2017, building up to 100,000 today – with millions more to come

Yesterday we joined with thousands at the #MarchForCleanWater rally, to demand an end to the poisoning of our seas and rivers
The rally was full of energy, with a growing coalition of charities and community groups gathering peacefully to demand urgent action on water quality
What a turnout! Thousands of people have marched today for our rivers and seas. 💙
Thank you to our staff and volunteers who helped give our ocean a voice and demand action from UK governments. Together, we can stop pollution and restore seas and rivers. #MarchForCleanWater
