Ocean Festival Cove Cleanup!

Ocean Festival Cove Cleanup at Manly Cove

Ocean Festival Cove Cleanup is free community event at Manly Cove on the first Sunday of every month between 9am-11am in collaboration with Operation Straw and Eco Adventure

Background details:

  • Ocean Festival Cove Cleanup has been running since 2018 and is the longest running sample of microplastics in Australia. Due to Covid and a lack of volunteers, there is a huge backlog of samples dating back to 2020 that sit unprocessed in the office.
  • We are wanting to process these as quickly as possible to enable AUSMAP to publish a paper using the Manly Cove data.
  • Event has its own kit and its own AUSMAP flag.

What happens at the event?

  • Before 9am: Meet on the grass patch outside the Manly Art Gallery and Museum.
  • 9am: Briefing and gear up
  • 9:10-10am: Cleanup
  • 10-10:30am: Debris sort, count, document and disposal.
  • Optional – After 10:30am: Networking, pack down, and disband to enjoy the rest of the day.
