Tangaroa Blue Foundation is an Australian registered charity focused on the health of our marine environment, and coordinates the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, an on-ground network of volunteers, communities, organisations and agencies around the country monitoring the impacts of marine debris along their stretch of coastline. We have over 78,500 volunteers around Australia who have removed over 7.8 million pieces of debris from the coastline since 2004. Many hands make light work! Tangaroa Blue Foundation is able to provide support to communities, organisations, agencies and schools including training, clean up materials and logistical support, educational resources and analysis of the debris they are finding. This feedback has provided valuable data on the types and amounts of marine debris impacting sections of coast and also resulted in communities having real on-ground success stories in the reduction of marine debris impacting their site.
