Students recently went to Kauri Point Reserve in Wattle Downs for a beach clean-up. Collaborating with Sustainable Coastlines, the group collected quite a lot of rubbish in an hour. Removing the waste, including a lot of plastic, prevents it from ending up in the ocean and the stomachs of fish and other aquatic species.
The Sustainable Coastlines project is a large project set out to clean up the beaches around New Zealand. If your family would like to attend one of the upcoming local clean-up events (Manukau and Drury) please visit http://sustainablecoastlines.org/events/.
