If so, you might want to take part in the Marine Conservation Society's (MCS) Beachwatch Big Weekend 2010.
The society urgently needs volunteers from the area to take part in the UK's biggest beach clean and litter survey, which takes place in S
eptember.
Over 4,500 volunteers took part in Beachwatch Big Weekend 2009, cleaning 397 beaches.
MCS is hoping that this year's Beachwatch will be even bigger and better, and that more of the UK's beaches will be cleaned and surveyed.
As well as being unsightly, litter washing up on the shores of beaches in the area can harm and kill some of our best-loved marine animals.
Many species of marine wildlife including seabirds, seals, dolphins and whales mistake marine litter for food or become tangled in it; resulting in horrific injuries and sometimes death.
The Beachwatch Big Weekend provides a simple and effective way in which everyone can help tackle the relentless wave of rubbish washing onto our beaches and at sea.
"Volunteers never cease to be amazed at the amount of the litter they find on their beaches. It's shocking to think what you could feel between your toes, apart from sand.
"We want more volunteers to take part in Beachwatch Big Weekend 2010 to ensure it continues to be the biggest and most influential project in the fight against beach litter in the UK," said Emma Snowden, MCS Litter Projects Co-ordinator.
Beachwatch Big Weekend 2010 takes place over September 18 and 19.
