Marine Debris

Our Mission
We are protecting native wildlife along the coastal fringes of Bribie Island and surrounds from the dangers posed by litter and other marine debris.
Key Goals

Our Activities
We collect and catalogue coastal litter and submit the data to Tangaroa Blue, who identify and target the sources of marine debris around Australia.
Not only are we clearing away an unsightly mess, we are protecting wildlife who ingest or get tangled in litter, and helping to tackle the problem at its source. Local clean-up initiatives like this have had a significant impact on reducing coastal litter around Australia, as reported by The Guardian in June 2022.
This project has received funding from the Queensland Department of Environment and Science Community Sustainability Action Grant Program.
