The Sir Peter Blake Trust

Care For Our Coast

Contribute to the conservation of New Zealand’s coastal environment by using our proactive teaching resource and taking action with a ‘Coastal Clean Up’.

The Clean Up kit provides schools and community groups with information and data sheets. Once a beach or waterway is cleaned, the rubbish is sorted and the information collated.

This information, detailing the type and volume of rubbish, can be entered on this site to gain your own results summary, then information is sent back to the Trust to record, allowing a full summary of clean-ups to be constructed.

The results

A total of 831 clean ups have been recorded since August 2004.

"Having vision is not enough. Change comes through realising the vision and turning it into a reality. It is easy to espouse worthy goals, values and policies; the hard part is implementation."
