Great morning with year 7 CREST students from Sunshine Beach State High School and undertaking microplastics clean ups along our beloved Noosa Main beach we found a range of plastics as well as cigarette butts. Please pick up all your rubbish and don’t leave things behind if you’re visiting the Noosa Festival of Surfing, cigarette butts particularly were dropped here recently! It’s Up To All Of Us to care for our Blue Biosphere!

Why is beach access 62 so blue!
While swimming I did a little quick scout along the tide line and found an array of plastics, in particular a regular visitor of blue and green hard plastics. Where does this come from? We explore microplastics in detail and conduct clean ups with schools across the biosphere.
Why not take a little stroll and see what you find and remove while enjoying our beautiful beaches this holiday period.
Send us photos of what you find and happy new year to everyone!

Give a gift that lasts a lifetime $250 and $200 respectively. The surf board holders will be available in the new year. Contact us for more information.

When will we realise that shark nets do nothing more than kill innocent marine creatures. They are just a placebo for the masses and it’s time we all woke up to this fact. Please sign the petition. 🙏🏽 we have had two whale entanglements in the last week on the Sunshine Coast.

The planets really did align today for the Good Shepherd Lutheran College Custodians of Place Stewardship Day at the spit Noosa. Students enjoyed a smoking and ochre ceremony to commence the day, Aboriginal games and dance workshops, Walks on Country with Beverly Hand and Ilana from landcarenoosa and we also collected microplastics of our beaches.
Thanks to David Gookegen Nanangi Peters brother Mark and the wonderful Cassandra! A big thank you to teacher Ms Sandy Page for your ongoing support!

A magical day for everyone involved!
My cup is certainly full!
