ReefClean

ReefClean is a project funded by the Australian Government's Reef Trust. Launched in early 2019, the project aims to remove and prevent marine debris along the Great Barrier Reef region through to 2023. In order to do this, Tangaroa Blue Foundation has partnered with several organisations to achieve success: Reef Check Australia, Capricornia Catchments, Eco Barge Clean Seas,  OceanWatch Australia, South Cape York Catchments, AUSMAP, and Think Spatial.

The ReefClean project will deliver the following services:

  • Community clean-up events
  • Site monitoring
  • The Great Barrier Reef Clean-up event annually in October
  • Community Source Reduction Plan Workshops
  • School and community engagement activities
  • Data analysis
  • Disaster management clean-ups

Keep an eye on our events calendar for information on our activities.

Source Reduction Plan in Port Douglas

Reducing Tackle Rubbish in Port Douglas

November 21, 2022 Stef Barney
Tangaroa Blue as part of the ReefClean program are a part of a collaborative working group with many local community partners in the Port Douglas area and are working together with the Douglas Shire Council who are creating a Recreational Fishing Trail as part of their Fish for the Future Initiative.
After receiving feedback from the community we are now in the process of selecting trail locations and are planning to install tackle bins at key locations along the fishing trail to reduce fishing line litter and tackle rubbish in the local waterways as part of a Source Reduction Plan (SRP).
We were blown away by the amount of support from the community at recent market stall events about the installation of these tackle bins, so a huge thank you to all who contributed. We are excited to get this project under way and go one step further to keeping the #ReefClean
