We will meet at the Cape Kimberley beach access carpark at 9am and all clean up materials will be provided. All you need to bring is some shoes, sunscreen, drinking water and snacks and loads of energy!!

Tangaora Blue Ocean Care Society Stainless Steel Water Bottles
A great way to help reduce your carbon footprint is to start drinking from a reusable water bottle. There are many reusable water bottles available, but many bottles tend to impart a “plastic” taste to the water and may use BPA (Bisphenol-A) in the plastic. Because of this, we offer a reusable stainless steel water bottle which gives a great taste and is built to last. Pureau have also donated the proceeds of the sale of these stainless steel water bottles to Tangaroa Blue to help continue our Australian Marine Debris Initiative! The Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Stainless Steel Water Bottle costs $18.95 plus $6 postage within Australia. For international orders please email Heidi Taylor at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for postage costs.

Volunteers are invited to register as an individual or as a group and nominate a beach or stretch of coastline they will clean up over the clean up weekend. All materials, volunteer insurance and logistical support will be provided, all we need is lots of energy and many hands to help remove marine debris from the coast. Since the South West Marine Debris Project started in 2004, volunteers have helped remove over 350,000 pieces of marine debris from south west beaches, helping to protect marine life and seabirds and the local marine environment.
