Action needed to stop litter entering Scotland’s seas, says watchdog

The Scottish Government says it recognises more needs to be done to tackle marine litter.

The Scottish Government needs to take more action to stop litter from ending up in Scotland’s seas.

That’s according to an environmental watchdog – which found more litter is collected on beaches in Scotland than the rest of the UK.

Environmental Standards Scotland is calling on the Government to reduce how much waste is produced in order to stop so much from ending up in the sea.
