Ocean Clean Up
Stay tuned to this page for updates regarding our 2025 event.
The Sea World Foundation recently hosted our fifth annual Ocean Clean Up event the Gold Coast Seaway with 279 land and dive volunteers removing almost 250kg of marine debris from the area. This significant number of marine debris removed both above and below the water will reduce the risk of entanglement for local marine life. This event could not be achieved without the support and dedication of so many wonderful people and we’d like to share a special thank you to all the volunteers who attended the event making a vital difference to our local marine environments and to our many partners who helped make the day the success it was.
