WA Marine Debris Project

October 26, 2018

Students from C2 Homeroom this week took part in the Tangaroa Blue Foundation’s WA Marine Debris Project. Students cleaned up a 600m stretch of beach adjacent to Whitfords Nodes, even finding a shovel! After collecting and sorting the waste, a list of collected items was uploaded to the AMDI database to assist with reducing waste at the source. Students learnt that marine debris isn’t only unsightly, it harms marine wildlife and can even impact human health if we consume fish that have ingested plastic.
