On a sunny but windy Tuesday the 23rd of September, staff from our recently launched ‘gold’ sponsors Pureology, Pead PR, and invited media guests joined our team for a clean-up on the stunning sands of Waiheke Island.

After meeting at Auckland’s downtown ferry terminal we made our way across to Waiheke, taking the time to provide important background and context to the littering problem by going through our ‘Love your Coast’ educational presentation at the fabulous Oyster Inn. From there our sixteen-strong crew headed to Surfdale Beach for a clean-up where — in just forty minutes — we managed to collect over 900 individual items from the coastline, an impressive effort!

Thank you to all the keen volunteers for your epic efforts, and a huge thanks to the team from Pureology for your generous and ongoing support. We love your work!
