KIMO International

The KIMO secretariat was honoured to take part in this beach clean-up. Well done to all the volunteers for their hard work. When 141 bags of rubbish are collected from a 50m stretch of beach, one is humbled by the scope of the marine litter problem. We need to be looking at ways of preventing this waste from being dumped in the ocean in the first place. ...

The team at Burwick Beach cleared 141 bags from the shoreline on Saturday! A huge well done to everyone involved! Again, the majority of bruck was industrial fishing material but there were also many examples of 'single use plastic' such as drinks bottles, cotton bud sticks, straws, tampon applicators, and plastic cutlery. Is there any single-use plastic you could cut out of your life? Check the comments for the BEFORE photo! #noexcuseforsingleuse #dunnachuckbruck #bruckmonster
