Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Society has been coordinating the Cape to Cape Beach Clean-up over the last four years and in its fifth year the clean-up event is set to expand. Volunteers who want to help clean-up our coastline from Walpole to Perth are now invited to register their local beach for the South West Beach Clean-up event on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October, 2009.
Since 2004, volunteers have removed over 350,000 pieces of rubbish from the Western Australian coastline helping to protect our marine life and ecosystems.
Volunteers are invited to register a beach as a group or as individuals, and clean it up over the weekend. As well as cleaning up the beach, volunteers will be asked to collect data on what they find for entry into the marine debris database. All materials will be provided by Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Society.
Registration forms can be downloaded by visiting www.oceancare.org.au.
