Bill Dale from Beach Buddies says he's seen a big reduction in the amount of litter on Manx beaches
The founder of a beach cleaning charity says he's seen a big difference in the amount of rubbish washing onto the Island's coasts over the last 20 years.
Beach Buddies is currently celebrating its 20th year tackling coastal litter around the Island.
The group organises weekly sessions on specific beaches, and also funds litter pickers for children in Manx schools.
Bill Dale told Manx Radio the Island has made a lot of progress:
