The Isle of Arran is the first community in Scotland to be granted "Plastic-Free Community" status from the marine conservation group
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS).
TAP-Arran worked with local businesses, community groups and with North Ayrshire Council to to implement all of the SAS five point plan.
Groups across the island organised beach cleans to contribute to the UK-wide
Great British Beach Clean.
We've put together documents detailing the different types of items found on Arran's beaches including pie charts to show the proportion of
each type of item found.
You can see all the details here.
