24-Hour Global Beach Clean

From sunrise to sunset, the Sea Life Trust is launching the first ever 24-Hour Global Beach Clean event! Volunteers are asked to join Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium on the 8th June as part of a global event to support World Oceans Day—and it all starts right here in Aotearoa New Zealand!

The 24 hours of beach cleaning will be captured in photos with camera partner Olympus and we are asking volunteers to take pictures and post their best ’24-Hour Global Beach Clean’ pictures with the hashtag #24HourGlobalBeachClean

Teams from around the globe will be joining forces to conduct a Global 24-Hour beach clean. Be amongst the first to take part with the New Zealand Sea Life Trust team! The Sea Life Trust volunteers will be hitting the sand to see just how much rubbish there is and who can collect the most!

The Sea Life Trust champions the need for seas which are properly protected, free from plastic pollution, and full of diverse life. This year, as well as focusing on plastic pollution and the 24-hour global beach clean, the charity will make ground-breaking steps for previously captive cetaceans by opening the world-first Sea Life Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary in Iceland.
