Sea World Foundation Ocean Clean Up Community Event
The Sea World Foundation Ocean Clean Up Community Event invites volunteers to help protect local marine ecosystems through a large-scale clean-up both on land and underwater. Gold Coast ocean lovers are encouraged to get involved, whether by diving beneath the surface to remove debris or by collecting litter along the shoreline.
Land volunteers will be provided with debris bags, tongs and gloves, though participants are welcome to bring their own equipment. This role is suitable for all ages, with volunteers under 18 requiring adult supervision.
Certified divers can participate as dive volunteers, using their own equipment to help collect underwater litter. Marine debris bags will be provided, and dive volunteers will receive complimentary tank refills for the event, courtesy of Adreno Gold Coast and Gold Coast Dive Centre.
After the clean-up, volunteers can enjoy a free barbecue, live music, eco-activities and prizes at this family-friendly celebration. The event is supported by the Queensland Government’s Community Sustainability Action grant program.
