A local environmental group is looking for volunteers to take part in a beach clean this weekend.

The Marine Conservation Society will descend on a section of Castletown beach to remove and catalogue the waste washed up there.

The MCS's Dru Leoidsson says Castletown is the ideal place to check what's in the water around us: (audio clip)

Anyone interested in joining in with the beach clean should meet at the car park just past Hango Hill at 10am on Saturday and / or Sunday.

Dru says people need to bring sensible footwear, but gloves and bags will be provided.
