Cleaning out coastline ♻️
& having fun whilst doing it 🗑

Thank you to all the volunteers that came out today and removed Marine Debris from Norris Bay.

Today was about quality not quantity! We found a discarded anchor and 4m of chain, an umbrella and lots of Microplastics mixed with various bottles and more! 🪸

The volunteers were gifted with dugongs on the way to the site, whales in the distance and dolphins on the way home. Truly special! 🐬 🌊

Thank you to Aquascene for having us on board and helping with the clean up activities.
