The Forth Estuary Forums Coastal Litter Campaign aimed to develop and implement a community involvement and public awareness-raising programme intended to tackle and Monitor the issue of marine litter in the Firth of Forth, Scotland. Beach cleans are an excellent public participation exercise, focusing the public's attention oil the issue of marine litter and creating a sense of environmental responsibility. Raising public awareness is the only guaranteed way of reducing marine litter. A combination of education, provision of adequate waste reception facilities and enforcement of legislation is needed to tackle beach litter. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
