Murrays Beach Clean Up and Art

Do you wish there was something you could do to help save the 63 Maui dolphins that we have left? Well there is! There's actually quite a lot that we can each do to help protect these beautiful creatures that are completely unique to New Zealand, starting with a beach clean up.

Beach clean ups are super simple but also super effective considering litter related deaths are responsible for around 100,000 marine mammal deaths and 1 million seabird deaths every year.

I've been organising beach clean ups since March 2014 and it turns out they are a lot more fun than they sound! Not only are we doing something great for our local environment, we're catching up with friends, making new friends, and getting a little of sun and exercise so there's really no reason at all to not join us!

After the clean up this month I would really love to do something a little bit different and use some of the rubbish we find to create a temporary art display on the beach. Not only will this be a bit of fun, it will draw in a lot of attention to what we are doing and why we are doing it so I hope you can stay and join me. If you'd rather just come for the clean up or just the art display then that is 100% okay with me! There's also the option for a shared dinner after if people are interested.

We will provide gloves and buckets, all we ask you to bring is a bottle of water and make sure you're wearing sunscreen and/or a hat - sun safety first! Please keep an eye in the event page for health and safety information coming soon.
