In February, Oceanwatch Australia held the fourth annual Tide to Tip clean-up event, which sees oyster growers from across NSW and interstate working together with local community groups to clean-up their estuaries and foreshores.
This year, 20 clean-ups and 211 volunteers removed 11,870kgs of marine debris. Across the four years of Tide to Tip, Oceanwatch and volunteers have removed over 42 tonnes of rubbish, completing clean-ups across NSW, QLD and WA. This year they also held competitions for the largest clean-up, most bizarre item, and an entry prize.
