SummaryThis project aims to remove litter from both the Maroochy and Mooloolah rivers. It will involve a daily clean-up on the banks of the two rivers, with approximately 30 volunteers involved, and provide educational support for river users and the broader community of the Sunshine Coast on the effect litter has on waterway and marine life. The project aims to remove more than 70,000 litres of litter from the waterways before it enters the ocean and becomes marine debris. Data will also be collected on litter type and uploaded to the Tangaroa Blue website to be part of the national database on marine debris.
