Did you know?!
The Busselton Jetty Environment Foundation facilitates a number of coastal (and underwater!) cleanups each year in the South West. At our 2023 Injidup Remote Area Cleanup, our volunteer team removed approximately 100kgs of marine debris from the coastline, comprising of around 2577 pieces of litter, of which a staggering 94% were plastic!!
Data from each cleanup is logged with the Australian Marine Debris Initiative Datababse, helping to inform management decisions to prevent marine pollution.
