LITRES OF LITTER CLEANED UP

We love our coasts and oceans and want them litter-free. We clean up beaches and deliver education to prevent litter, particularly single-use plastics.

It's very easy to believe there's magic in water when you're out enjoying yourself in it. That's one reason we work hard to look after Aotearoa's waterways and coastlines.

Massive news! A very welcome surprise last night to take out the Tech for Good Award for our Litter Intelligence programme at the Sustainable Business Network Awards! Here’s Shawn Elise, Camden, and Josh looking ecstatic at the event yesterday evening where they accepted the award on behalf of citizen scientists across Aotearoa.

The judges said, “Sustainable Coastlines has developed NZ’s first scientifically-rigorous national litter database to determine how much litter is on NZ beaches… More than just analysing data, the initiative is focused on behaviour change. The technology is strong, the impact is clear and there is great clarity of focus. This is a home-grown success story with the potential to go global.”

Congratulations to our citizen scientists who put in the hard yards (well, 100 metres along the beach, to be exact). We wouldn’t be here without the many volunteers who mobilise their communities at over 175 beaches around the country to turn litter into data to inspire behaviour change. The tech is a great tool for uniting individual efforts nationwide.
