The Ocean and Coastal Care Initiative (OCCI) teams from the Central Coast and Port Stephens held a Project Aware on the Coast Course on March 24th for local volunteers keen to be involved in coastal environmental projects in their local areas.
12 participants headed to Kingsley Beach, Port Stephens in NSW for the day’s workshop which covered skills and information on how to organise and run a Marine Debris Clean Up. The morning was spent looking at the world wide problem of litter in our oceans and on the beaches and the initiatives that are being created to work towards doing something about it. This was followed by the nitty gritty of how to organise a local clean up.
