We use the Australian Marine Debris Initiative framework to inspire behaviour change, innovation, and empower communities, industry and government to make data-driven decisions that improve ocean health.

The Australian Marine Debris Initiative is contributed to by over 3,300 partner organisations and thousands of volunteers. It hosts data on more than 30 million pieces of marine debris, removed from the coastline and recorded by our community of citizen scientists across Australia.

Help us stop the flow of rubbish and plastics into our oceans.

• Remove marine debris from beaches and waterways

• Track and remove dangerous ghost gear from the ocean

• Conduct long-term marine debris monitoring programs

• Track pollution back to its source

• Work with community, government and industry stakeholders to find strategies to prevent marine debris from occurring in the first place

• Provide education resources and increase understanding and awareness in communities
