Here’s another opportunity for a local cleanup project.

Each year, the Marine Education Society of Australasia (MESA) runs Seaweek to promote educational issues of relevance to the marine environment and provides a range of resources. The theme this year for Seaweek is ‘Marine Debris – Clean it Up!’  Here’s more resources for bayside Councils (and inland ones too as their waterways lead to the bay).
MESA provides:

• Background information on their website about marine debris – types, sources, locations, environmental impacts;
• Suggest ways we can reduce the amount of marine debris;
• Provide activities for students related to marine debris.
