Target The Trash For The Turtles- Coastal Clean Up

This is a coastal clean up event run by NSW TurtleWatch, in cooperation with Australian Seabird and Turtle Rescue, Positive Change for Marine Life and the Byron Shire Council. We want our local community to help target the trash for the turtles, before marine turtle nesting season begins in November. Marine turtles nest throughout the entire NSW coastline and NSW TurtleWatch aims to engage citizen scientists to assist with monitoring NSW Beaches for the presence/absence of nesting marine turtles and promote public awareness about potential threats to them. Clean coastlines helps ensure that there are no obstacles that may hinder the success of a marine turtle, to lay a successful nest.
