Beach clean up for World Oceans Day 2024
As we celebrate World Oceans Day 2024, we're embracing the theme of "Catalysing Action for Our Ocean & Climate," fostering a shared commitment to protecting our oceans for generations to come. Our recent beach cleanup along the beautiful shores of Bundjalung Land was a gentle reminder of the importance of our ongoing efforts to preserve marine ecosystems.
We acknowledge the connection between ocean well-being and climate equilibrium. The oceans play a pivotal role in climate regulation and biodiversity support, addressing issues such as ocean degradation and climate change.
Our ocean currently...
Over 8 million tons of plastic find their way into the ocean each year.
