| 1:00pm | 4:00pm | Four Mile Beach Monthly Clean-up |
Come and join in our monthly beach clean-up! Help keep this beautiful beach free of marine debris and come and meet like minded people. Registrations are essential - email [email protected] to register your attendance. What shall I bring? Volunteers need to wear enclosed shoes, bring sun/rain protection, and plenty of drinking water (1 to 2 litres is recommended). We try to ensure that all Tangaroa Blue events are free from single-use plastic, so bring along your reusable water bottle. All equipment and drinking water top-ups will be provided. Why is it in the afternoon? Four Mile Beach is shaded in the afternoon making it a cooler time to be out on the beach. Most debris is along the vegetation or tide lines, so the afternoon reduces sun exposure. We look forward to seeing you out on the beach! | Daintree Lounge at the Sheraton Grand Mirage, Port Douglas | https://tangaroablue.org/events-calendar/four-mile-beach-north-and-middle-monthly-clean-up-qld-june26/ | [email protected] | Community Event, Free Event | Lucy | [email protected] | 0431870165 | ||||
