We are collaborating with 5 other UPSU sports and societies for a litter pick
- Marine Biology Society
- Sailing
- Wind Riders
- Scuba
- Canoe
This will be a great opportunity to meet and get to know people from other societies. When you arrive you will be split into groups with a mix of students from each student group.
We will be collecting as much litter as possible (there will be a prize for the group who collects the most litter!). We will also be helping the Marine Biology Society with a shore survey after the litter pick where we will learn how to rockpool and identify some species!
This is a great activity to do something for the local community as well as to appreciate our marine environment and beaches with other like-minded people!
