Meanwhile the Surfrider Foundation Australia Northern Beaches #Adoptabeach program has been firing up their Clean beach program this year collecting an incredible amount of litter in Manly alone, along with providing the data to the Council. Their November stats are impressive, but the main game is to build an enduring community powered movement to protect the coast, educate communities on ways to reduce single use plastic consumption and identify and collate valuable data on pollution hotspots and potential sources of litter as well as advocate for greater government action on the issue.
