Are you interested in taking action against ocean pollution at your local coastline?

Join us at Honiana Te Puni Reserve, Petone Beach for a beach clean-up and Litter Intelligence survey. Give back to the beautiful moana by learning to be a citizen scientist — set up and run a survey, sort and record rubbish in an audit, and add your data to Litter Intelligence, Aotearoa New Zealand’s national database and solutions platform.

We’ll start from 9:30am, heading onto the beach for the wider clean-up and the survey, then ending with the audit. All equipment will be provided, including gloves, sacks, and a health and safety briefing.

Please register below! This helps us with event planning, and allows us to contact you if there are any important event announcements or major changes. We will get in touch with you with further details on logistics for the day.

For further enquiries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Ben at [email protected]

Nau mai haere mai, we can’t wait to see you there!

About the Litter Intelligence Programme

Litter Intelligence is Aotearoa’s national litter monitoring programme, enabling communities to collect data, gain insights and influence action for a world without litter.

On the day, we’ll guide our group of citizen scientists through a Litter Intelligence survey and audit. This involves removing all the litter in a designated area of the beach, categorising it, measuring it, and recording it in the database. Because we survey the same area of the beach each time, you’re helping us build up a picture of the litter problem over time.
