Thanks to all our volunteers who braved the rain today to come out to the #InternationalCoastalCleanup, we collected 1882 items of beach litter weighing 96kg. Lots of food wrappers (319) and heaps of plastic bottles (312). Drinks containers of all material featured heavily with 250 glass bottles and 108 aluminium cans found. Thanks to Vanuatu Climate Action Network for sponsoring our event. Remember that you can do a cleanup too and contribute to the International Coast Cleanup. Do a cleanup in September and send your data to us or use the Clean Swell app and your efforts will be included. ... See MoreSee Less

What is going to the the top littered item at this year's #InternationalCoastalCleanup? Last year it was plastic food wrappers. Are we doing to see single-use coffee cups creeping up the list? What about those horrid Pop Mie noodle packages made of polystyrene with a plastic fork inside (we thought they are on the banned list??) or icypole wrappers? What are the problem items in your area? Do a cleanup, collect the data and find out. Or join us at our cleanup this Thursday - Ifira Point, meet outside the boat yard at 9am. Details on how to participate are on our website www.vanuatuconservation.org/international-coastal-cleanup/ #SeaTheChange ... See MoreSee Less
