HELP PROTECT THE OCEAN
Our mission is to prevent and remove marine debris in Australia and across regions. We use the Australian Marine Debris Initiative framework to inspire behaviour change, innovation and empower communities, industry and government to make data driven decisions that improves ocean health.
Your donation will directly contribute to:
- Marine debris clean-ups across Australia
- AMDI Database, providing evidence for action
- Stop waste at its source, before it reaches the ocean
- Prevention of microplastics leaks from industry polluters
- Ghost net recovery and recycling
MARINE DEBRIS IMPACT
Volunteers, organisations and community groups from around the country join forces to find practical solutions to reducing ocean plastics.
With an estimated 40,000 pieces of plastic floating in every square kilometre of the ocean, marine debris is considered one of the major environmental issues impacting our world. The rubbish degrading in our oceans creates toxic effects for humans and animals.
We coordinate the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI), an on-ground network of volunteers, communities, organisations and agencies around the country monitoring the levels, impacts and sources of marine debris along their stretch of coastline.
