Extract from the organisers page (2023)--

"We promote beach cleans and this year we are raising funds for The Marine Conservation Society. Its free but we recommend you bring a minimum £3 donation per person.

It was the first event of its kind in the UK, created in 2012 and inspired by the Coney Island Mermaid Parade in New York. We organise fundraising events as a celebration of our seas and sea life, raising awareness of marine conservation issues and supporting associated campaigns and charities. We also know how to party!

March of the Mermaids is not just for mermaids! Mermen, lifeguards, sea mammals, crustaceans, lobsters, seahorses and all forms of sea life are invited to take part! We can't wait to SEA you at the parade!"
