School Collaboration
Educate the next generation about marine debris and let them see first hand how they can make a difference
HOW SCHOOLS CAN GET INVOLVED IN MARINE DEBRIS REMOVAL
School students from around the country have joined the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) by adopting their local section of beach for on-going marine debris monitoring and removal.
If you are part of a school that would like to join the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI), get in touch with us! We may be able to provide schools with clean-up materials and visit your school for presentations, workshops and to help with beach clean-up events.
We have many free resources available to download now so you and your class can learn more about marine debris and how you can make a difference.
