Marine Debris Campaign
Our Australia-wide Marine Debris Campaign aims to protect and conserve our marine environment through preventing and removing the unprecedented amount of plastic entering our oceans and waterways.
Read more about our past and present beach, river and remote clean-ups and find out how our volunteers are making a difference to local beaches and rivers around Australia and creating positive outcomes for the oceans.

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.

In 2020, Sea Shepherd Australia volunteers conducting a remote clean-up at Janes Bay on the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Coast in Western Australia discovered a shocking hotspot for plastic, removing over 33,000 pieces of trash, many of which were found with bite marks from marine life.
