Beach clean challenge

Solo beach cleans can help keep you fit and our coasts healthy during social distancing

We understand that social isolation is tough. Many of us are feeling the need to do something active and something positive, but aren’t sure how.

We’ve got the perfect solution! While you’re exercising, be part of our beach clean challenge! Sign up now.

Exercise, alone or with one other person, remains an activity that we can currently do. It’s good for our physical and mental health, and enables us to get out of the house. 

While walking at the beach why not pick up plastics and other rubbish. Be sure to take all the appropriate precautions.

Just once per week take a bag with you on your walk. Walk the tide lines and you will find plenty of plastic and other rubbish, large and small. Take a photo of your collection and share it with us on Facebook or email. We’re going to do a virtual analysis of the rubbish that is washing up on our Top End beaches. 

Take the socially isolated, solo exercise, beach clean challenge! 

Together we can keep our beaches clean and protect our local marine wildlife from plastic pollution (while exercising in social isolation of course). 

Use your smarts and stick to the social isolation rules and be safe when collecting plastics - wear gloves, sunscreen and use your common sense.
