MCS Adopt-A-Beach and Beachwatch
MCS Adopt-a-Beach and MCS Beachwatch are coastal environmental initiatives
organised by the Marine

communities in caring for their coastal environment.
The annual MCS Beachwatch event takes place on the 3rd weekend of September
every year and the data collected is used for the annual MCS Beachwatch
report.
