Maritime Volunteer Service
The Medway Maritime Volunteer Service (MVS) has been working to clear the River Medway of plastic debris.
In 2019 MVS retrieved half a ton of plastic waste from the river bed which included traffic cones, shopping trollies and car tyres. 2020 will bring renewed focus to clear debris from the river and explore partnership opportunities with other groups and charities to help make the river a cleaner place and encourage wildlife on the urban salt marshes at Rochester.
