The Great Coastal Clean Up - 15 September

The Great Coastal Clean Up - 15 September

Join a million others around the world cleaning up our coastlines this Saturday, 15th September with International Coastal Cleanup

As the Great OCEAN CLEANUP heads out to sea last week, we are turning to our coastlines on Saturday as communities around the world descend on our waterways and ocean shores to pick up as much trash as possible before it even gets to the oceans.

Each year, as more and more people join the International Coastal Cleanup movement, literally millions of kilos of rubbish - mostly plastic is collected by volunteers over 30,000 kilometres in 106 countries.

The International Coastal Cleanup team reported last year that volunteers around the world collected enough cigarette butts to line the distance of five marathons, enough balloons to lift a great white shark and enough plastic beverage bottles to fill over five standard swimming pools.

You can sign up for this year’s international clean up and add  yourself to the world map or simply head to the beach or local waterway and like Take 3 For the Sea, pick up whatever you see instead of walking on past.
