The annual Great Dorset Beach Clean has been cancelled.
The event, due to take place in April, attracts hundreds of volunteers, dedicated to clean up our coast.
A spokesman for Litter Free Coast and Sea, which organises the event, said: "We have cancelled the Great Dorset Beach Clean for 2020 due to coronavirus.
"We hope to be back later in the year with another event. Keep safe everyone."
