The Great Barrier Reef Clean-up 2025 is now finished!
A massive thank you to the thousands of volunteers who spared their time to help protect the Great Barrier Reef from marine debris.
More than half of you submitted your data to the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database, helping us learn what marine debris accumulates where.
Â
This data will be used to build a national picture of marine debris and contribute to source reduction plans and policy change on a regional and national scale!
