This weekend, 5 volunteers joined the Eco-Barge team to clean up debris left over from Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji.
Efforts were focused on Bowen’s Rose Bay, gathering and responsibly disposing of the debris previously littering the sand.
The mission was also an opportunity for the team to scope out the rubbish and debris taken by the sea, as they formulated plans to return by boat to clean the waters as well as the shoreline.
With more community clean-ups on the horizon, the Eco Barge team and their volunteers deserve recognition for looking after our oceans, and the beautiful beaches we’re lucky to have on our doorsteps.
Eco Barge would like to thank Whitsunday Regional Council for their support in this cleanup effort.
The next event will be a day of Recycling & Sorting Marine Debris at Eco Barge HQ, halfway down Boatyard Road, in Jubilee Pocket. To sign up, or learn about future volunteer opportunities, visit https://ecobargecleanseasinc.volunteerlocal.com
