Volunteer at a beach clean-up to help protect the ocean and marine life
Whether you’re a beach clean-up pro, or it’s your first time – you can become a Tangaroa Blue Foundation beach clean-up volunteer and help protect the ocean from marine debris.
Tangaroa Blue Foundation has been reducing and preventing marine debris since 2004. We’ve contributed to some of the biggest wins against plastic pollution and marine debris over the last two decades, including campaigning for container deposit schemes, single-use plastic bans and industry best practice programs.
We couldn’t do any of this without our passionate group of volunteers, who work across Australia on beach clean-ups, entering vital data into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database.
Take a look at events happening in your area and join us for a beach clean-up!
If a beach in your area needs a clean-up, but you can’t see one to join, why not create your own? You can take action with the support from Tangaroa Blue Foundation.
Remember, collecting the rubbish is great, but recording the data will have an even longer-lasting effect as it helps to formulate solutions.
The following steps will help you prepare for your event:
You can go to the report page of our database and access a wide variety of data from your previous clean-ups for your own reporting purposes.
For any questions and queries, drop us a message.
No opportunity to clean-up a beach, or you have special skills to offer? There is always administrative work to do and since Tangaroa Blue Foundation works nationwide we are always keen to involve more people that have expert skills – financial, legal, marketing, business, presenters or coordinators. Note that these activities are volunteer positions only. Fill in this expression of interest form and send it back, we’ll let you know what we are currently working on and where we need assistance.
Come along and get involved! For upcoming events check out our events calendar at the bottom of our home page or visit us on Facebook.
