Litter that ends up in waterways poses a threat to marine wildlife, particularly turtles and water birds. Eco Barge Clean Seas works to remove litter from land and marine areas, now having collected over 20 tonnes. In 2014, from 40 trips, nearly 13 tonnes of mostly plastic rubbish was removed from the sea around the islands and coastlines. Eco Barge has run its sixth Mackay Coastal clean-up collecting litter from beaches around Mackay and Sarina.
