# What does my donation to Tangaroa Blue Foundation go towards?

## 100% of your donation supports the removal and prevention of marine debris in and around Australia.

Your gift will directly contribute to:

- Marine debris clean-ups across Australia​, including remote marine debris hotspots.
- the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database, supporting citizen scientists to gather evidence for action on ocean plastic.
- Stop waste at its source, through targeted and evidence-based source reduction initiatives.
- the prevention of microplastic pollution from plastic industry polluters.
- Tracking, recovering and repurposing abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing equipment (ghost gear and ghost nets) that threaten marine habitats.

**Remember, all donations made are 100% tax-deductible, and every dollar donated counts towards protecting our oceans!**
