July Beach Patrol

What an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING first clean! We made a real difference and had such a great time. I’m so proud of this community!! Thank you to @whitecliffsforeshorereserve for the support and @beachpatrolaust for the initiative.

Together we saved hundreds of pieces of litter reaching our oceans, and becoming buried in our earth.

The @3942blairgowriebeachpatrol collected:

55 cigarette butts

31 coffee cups

40 bottles

40 cans

45 pieces of polystyrene

75 pieces of hard plastic

Over 200 pieces of soft plastic mostly made up of chocolate wrappers

2 face masks

And hundred of other random discarded items such as steel stakes, car parts, soy sauce fish, nappies, dog waste in plastic bags and sanitary items.

AND 3 skinks that were living in the trash and have been relocated to appropriate habitat.

THANK YOU ALL! See you for the next one 9am, Sunday 28th August.
