Suzuki Marine GB has removed more than three tonnes of waste from the shores of the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s southernmost point, in a dedicated beach clean as part of Suzuki’s global Clean Ocean Project.
Protecting Remote Waters
Fifteen volunteers, including members of the Suzuki Fishing Team, undertook the clean-up on some of the region’s most inaccessible beaches. Over the course of one day, they cleared marine debris ranging from tyres and metal to ropes, microplastics, and discarded household plastics.
Their efforts began at Port Logan, a beach that appeared unspoiled from a distance. However, once on the sand, the team uncovered hundreds of microplastic items – including cotton bud sticks, likely washed ashore from sewage systems.
The team then moved to Clanyard Bay, a secluded cove only reachable by boat. Here, the scale of the pollution was stark. Using Suzuki Fishing Team vessels, they filled a trailer with old fishing gear, rope, and plastic waste, all of which had been threatening marine life and spoiling the coastline.
A Shared Mission
Mark Beeley, Head of ATV & Marine for Suzuki GB, commented:
“This year’s beach clean truly showcased what can be achieved when we come together for a shared cause. The Mull of Galloway is an area of outstanding natural beauty, but also one that highlights the hidden impact of marine litter.”
The clean-up is part of the wider Clean Ocean Project, Suzuki’s international initiative focused on marine sustainability. Alongside hands-on clean-ups, the project includes innovations like the brand’s microplastic collection device for outboard motors and a commitment to reducing plastic packaging across operations.
