You will make a difference – Help the eco system

Your efforts to remove marine debris from the Sydney Harbour Catchment will make a difference! Every piece collected from the marine system will prevent wildlife being harmed by the pollution.  We have partnered up with Tangaroa Blue Foundation to help collect data about marine debris. Rubbish collected on walks will be recorded under a nationally recognised methodology created by Tangaroa Blue Foundation.  The data you collect will be submitted to the Australian Marine Debris Database and then used to help create solutions that stop marine debris at the source.
