Strandliners CIC, a local not-for-profit enterprise, has entered into partnership with the United Nations Association (UNA) in its Climate and Oceans project.
“We are delighted and honoured to be included in this worldwide initiative,” says Executive Director Andy Dinsdale. “It reaffirms Strandliners’ core mission: Act locally, think globally. It adds tremendous weight to our effort.”
Strandliners, a community interest company, came to the attention of the UNA through Strandliners’ Community Action programme, a Rother-wide scheme to recruit and train local volunteers as citizen scientists in the war on plastic pollution.
Strandliners CIC already partners with national and international organisations such as the Marine Conservation Society, Surfers Against Sewage, Sea-Changers and Break Free From Plastic in efforts to track marine waste, 60% of which originates inland, to its source and turn back the plastic tide threatening our planet.
