Marine Litter group

Denbighshire County Council’s Flood Risk Team and volunteers have together collected over 30 bags of litter from beach areas along the Prestatyn coastline.

A number of litter picks have taken place this year to tackle the impact of marine litter in the area which can block up waterways and drainage, stopping the flow of water, leading to higher risks of localised flooding further upstream.

Taking litter off the beach can also provide stronger support for natural defences such as shorelines, dunes and seagrass beds as they are able to better maintain their natural function as defences against the sea
