Arran has the opportunity to be one of 10 UK island communities leading the fight against plastic pollution.
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) has joined forces with Parley for the Oceans and together they will empower local leaders through the Parley AIR (Avoid. Intercept. Redesign.) Strategy. Arran already has its own campaign group TAP (Think About Plastic) and the Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST) carries out marine litter surveys and clean-up work.
Surfers Against Sewage is calling for island communities to submit applications to participate in the pilot project, which will be conducted in 2019.
