What is the National Marine Debris Initiative?
Surfrider Foundation Australia and Tangaroa Blue partner in the National Marine Debris Initiative.
The initiative aims at empowering individuals and community groups to adopt their local stretch of coast, clean it regularly and monitor what they collect through counting the data and completing data sheets.
Together, community groups, Tangaroa Blue and SFA work on proactive ways or removing and reducing the amount of marine debris impacting their marine ecosystem through community education and addressing the source of the marine debris.
The initiative engages with volunteers, community groups, industry and government agencies and other environmental organisations in making a positive and sustainable impact on marine debris.
Surfrider Foundation Australia is proud to partner with Tangaroa Blue in the National Marine Debris Initiative.
