Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s Post

Not only is marine debris a threat to the health of the Reef itself, it's also a threat to the animals that call the Reef home. Marine debris can float, sink, become entangled on rocky outcrops or reefs, or become buried in the sea floor where it can resurface after disturbances, such as cyclones and floods. But there is one simple thing you can do to give back to the Reef, and that's to become involved in a beach clean with Tangaroa Blue Foundation. A good New Year's resolution, don't you think? 😉 This rubbish was collected on a beach cleanup at Alva Beach with Tangaroa Blue. #marinedebris #GreatBarrierReef #ReefClean

One major problem is that we are still producing more plastic based products than we are able to collect. Further more we do not have the technology to effectively recycle and reuse the ever increasing plastics. For goodness lets stop patting ourselves on our backs for very little gain. Similarly lets convince ALL plastic consumers to change our ways NOW!! Let’s stop kidding ouselves that we are doing the right thing by just reusing our plastic bags.
