Conservation / Reef Rubbish

 

Can caught in rockpool

How does litter finish up in the Marine Sanctuary ?  Swept away by the tide after a day at a nearby beach, flushed out of stormwater drains upstream, discarded overboard, or just carelessly dropped. What happens to your rubbish ?

Cans can sometimes beome homes for animals. Be careful when cleaning up litter as Blue Ringed Octopus can use these things as a home.
