To coincide with World Ocean Day 2022, Lia Pereira and her husband Ryan organised a volunteer beach cleanup at Port Stephens, NSW, Australia.

Thirty people in twelve teams collected 230 kg of rubbish from various beaches. With the help of Tangaroa Blue Marine Debris Initiative they categorised 2967 items.

Plastic pollution is getting smaller, more numerous and invasive. The problem is getting worse and unfortunately we are noticing it less.

Lia also talks about the new fish and marine animal rescue facility at Anna Bay.
