Beach Clean Series
Community Beach Cleans return in 2024/25
Nau mai, haere mai ki te awhi me tautoko hoki, we welcome you to join us for a series of community beach clean ups around Waiheke! Facilitated by our Pipi Kairuruku - Beach Cleanup Coordinator, Maia Baillie
Thanks to the funding awarded by the Waiheke Local Board we have been able to add a coordinator to organise and run a series of beach cleans around Waiheke Island.
2024 Beach Clean Pipi Purpose:
To provide regular community and school-based beach clean-ups ~ To collect citizen science data to feed into local data systems ~ To engage youth in marine actions and use each clean as a tool to engage in further WMP actions.
Specifically, the project will achieve the following objectives:
Host at least 5 community and one mana whenua beach clean-ups across the island
Continue to build local database of collected rubbish
Support schools to engage with beach cleans
Engage with Regen divers to collaborate on Dive Cleanups
Set up a beach clean hub at WRT
Engage with the 700 Actions For Onetangi Project
Summer Programme dates - Go to our events page to sign up to one of our upcoming clean-ups
