Beach cleaning at Avoch plays a vital role in protecting the Moray Firth coastline from marine litter and preserving local wildlife. The village often participates in national initiatives like the Great British Beach Clean (organised by the Marine Conservation Society) and aligns with Keep Scotland Beautiful’s My Beach Your Beach campaigns, supported locally by Highland Council. Equipment is readily supplied at community ‘Seashore HUB’ stations—providing gloves, pickers, bags, data sheets and clipboards—ensuring both informal visitors and organised groups can take part easily. Typical clean-ups offer everything you need, though participants are encouraged to bring weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear, refreshments and reusable water bottles. Those interested—whether locals, tourists or groups—can connect with the Moray Firth Coastal Partnership, Scottish Coastal Clean Up, or Avoch & Killen Community Council via their Facebook pages. Such efforts contribute valuable litter-data to national databases, bolster public awareness, and maintain the beauty and ecological health of Avoch’s shoreline
