Keeping Plastic Out of the Sea – Lyttelton Harbour Clean Up

by Alex Hallatt

Naval Point, Lyttelton Harbour, New Zealand

I was one of many volunteers to pick up trash in a harbour clean up at Naval Point last Friday. We found a lot of drinks cans and bottles, but the majority of the rubbish was plastic. 

In total we removed 640 kg of rubbish from the harbour and prevented it from entering the ocean. We recycled in excess of 330 items.
