Pick a stretchChoose a shore you return to
A beach, river bank, lake edge or canal path. Give it a name and a length.
Shoreline litter survey
Every piece on the shore came from somewhere.
Walk your beach, river bank or lake edge in sections and tap what you find. ProJodder shows who keeps bringing it back — then helps you ask the right people to fix it.

How it works
Clean it once. Count it to stop it coming back.
Cleaning removes the litter. Counting tells you who keeps bringing it back.
2
Walk in sectionsSplit it into 10–50 m sections
Count as you go, section by section, so the hotspots show up on their own.
3
Tap your findsEach item points to a source
Butts, cup lids, fishing line, wet wipes — watch the picture form as you count.
4
Read the shoreGet a score and next steps
Items per 100 m, a clarity score, the hottest section and what to do about it.
5
Come backCount again, see the trend
Dirtier shores are due sooner, clean ones can wait. A reminder tells you when.
Features
A proper survey kit that fits in your pocket
Everything you need to turn a walk on the shore into evidence people can act on.
66 item types, coded
From cigarette butts to six-pack rings, each find has a code, a tell-tale description, and how long it lasts out there.
Find the source
Counts roll up into nine likely sources — smokers, takeaway, anglers, sewage overflows and more — so you know who to talk to.
Clarity score
Every stretch gets a 0–100 clarity reading and a grade from spotless to heavily littered, worked out on the phone.
Trends over time
Charts of how each shore changes, what share comes from each source, and the bags and kilos you carried off.
Letters that land
Turn your figures into a clear request to a council, beach operator, marina, school, angling club or kiosk.
Revisit reminders
Set your usual gap between visits and get a nudge on the day a stretch is due. Export CSV or JSON any time.
The shore read
One honest number per stretch
No guesswork and no network: the score uses fixed rules, so the same count always gives the same answer — and you can compare visits fairly.

Nine likely sources
Who keeps bringing it back?
Each item type points to where it most likely came from. Count enough and the pattern is hard to argue with.
🚬
Smokers
Butts flicked on promenades and steps wash down drains and strand at the high-water line.
🥡
Takeaway food & drink
Cups, lids and wrappers left by full bins, carried onto the shore by wind and gulls.
🎣
Anglers
Line, hooks, weights and bait packs lost or cut loose while fishing.
🚽
Sewage & drains
Cotton buds and wet wipes escaping through storm overflows after heavy rain.
☀️
Visitors & picnics
Picnic leftovers, toys, clothing and barbecue trays left behind after a day out.
⛴️
Boats & shipping
Rope, nets, crates and flares arriving on the tide rather than from the land.
📦
Fly-tipping
Tyres, pallets and bulky rubbish dumped deliberately near the water.
🌿
Farming & land
Silage wrap, feed sacks and sheeting blown or washed off fields.
❔
Origin unclear
Fragments too broken to trace — still counted, so nothing is left out.
The catalogue
How long does it stay on the shore?
Every item type tells you what to look for, what it does to wildlife, and roughly how long it lasts.
Some finds stay where they are
Needles, chemical containers, flares and oil are recorded, not touched. The safety brief reminds you to check the tide table and never let rising water cut off your way back.

Walk the shore. Count what's there.
Your next beach walk could be the evidence that stops the litter at its source.
