Clean Ups

MARINE DEBRIS PROGRAM


We participate with Clean-up Australia Day in March each year, and have worked regularly with The Australian Marine Conservation Society, Sydney Aquatic Cleaners Klub (SACK) and NSW Waterways Authority, to clean up a number of Sydney Harbour beaches.

We typically spend Clean Up Australia Day on a middle harbour beach such as Clifton Gardens or Balmoral. We also conduct a monthly marine debris survey  and gather beach debris information for the Tangaroa Blue program.
