Why do you want data from the WA Beach Clean-up?
Data helps identify marine debris sources and supports prevention efforts through the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database.
Collecting data isn't mandatory to be part of the WA Beach Clean-up but we would love it if you did!
Collecting data enables us to:
- Understand marine debris accumulation patterns over time and space
- Gather evidence to track marine debris to its source
- Provide evidence for source reduction initiatives to stop pollution before it reaches our waterways
- Provide local organisations with specific data that is relevant to their work
- Provide a state-wide and national overview and influence plastic policies
And more...
How do I collect and submit my data
You can use the AMDI App or fill out a paper data sheet. We will send you an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide when you register.
