QLD Communities Stopping at the Source

Gladstone & Agnes Waters

With the support of Gladstone Regional Council and the Australian Government, Tangaroa Blue delivered two Marine Debris Source Reduction workshops in the Gladstone region on 30 and 31 May.

The Agnes Workshop was co-hosted by the Discovery Coast Environment Group and 11 participants and have developed some great collaborative strategies to bring their plans for a single use plastic-free community to life.
