The National Marine Aquarium, home of the Ocean Conservation Trust, is a charity dedicated to connecting people with our Ocean.

We believe that cleaning up litter can help you feel more connected to your local blue space, as well as reduce the amount of litter pollution that could otherwise end up in Plymouth Sound National Marine Park.

We are delighted to become a clean up hub and allow people to safely collect litter using our equipment.
