Doing something about litter

One of my favourite creatures is the endangered albatross.  I am fortunate to observe and photograph them in the Southern Ocean every year with my work.  Sadly a lot of seabirds ingest plastic rubbish, confusing it for food.  It can get stuck inside their digestive system and kill them.  Also, other sea creatures get entangled in monofilament fishing line or plastic packaging which can also lead to their death.  I have therefore been in the habit of picking up litter wherever I see it and most frequently on the beach.  Much to my delight, recently I discovered Beach Patrol 3207. There is a large group of like-minded people who plan to do something about litter on our little patch and they’re a great bunch of people so now I have yet another local meeting place, the beach and a new reason to meet there and a whole host of new names of neighbours to know.  I hope to meet some of you there.  It’s a great way to get to know your fellow residents, have some fun and help make Port even better.
