First adventure with Clean4Shore
A cloudy, windy morning greeted the students and staff from Aspect Learning Centre on their first adventure with Clean4shore on Monday, November 4.
Wetsuits, booties and personal protective equipment were checked by the supervising staff, then it was off to Pelican island at Woy Woy, and into the mangroves, said Clean4Shore co-ordinator Mr Graham "Jono" Johnston.
"Chairs, pallet, beer keg, timber and six bags of small litter were collected by the team covering 200 metres of foreshore adjacent to Lion Park," he said.
"Further into the mangroves and on the high tidal marks, small hard plastics, mostly lids, lighters, pieces of hard plastic were collected plus soft plastics, balls and plastic bottles.
"Rileys Island was the next target, on the southern end adjacent to St Huberts Island."
Items found there included a damaged fibreglass tender, timber, drums, buckets and building plywood, which was loaded on board.
Mr Johnston said litter was still present on the western end of Rileys Island, and Paddy's Channel also required a clean.
A load of 220kg was delivered to Woy Woy tip.
