Remote Clean-up on the Cocos Keeling Islands
Over November and December 2020, Sea Shepherd conducted a multi-island remote clean-up mission at the Cocos Keeling Islands. Working collaboratively with the Cocos community, the team removed over an estimated one million pieces of marine pollution, weighing over 11 tonnes from the beaches of this island paradise in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia.
