Good vibes happen on the tides

They say that the ocean breeze puts the mind at ease. That is, until you see a plastic bottle top at your feet and a plastic straw floating by.

We’re supporting Sea Shepherd Marine Debris Campaign Australia’s efforts and want to herd our readers in the direction of its beach clean-up at Frankston Pier on Saturday, February 24, ahead of the Pier Street Party at Pelly Bar. Just for helping the crew pick up rubbish at Frankston Beach you’ll be in the running to pick up some free tickets to the party, where you’ll see such performers as Thundamentals, Art vs Science, Gyroscope, The Getaway Plan, Rackett, and Jesswar, as well as food trucks and outdoor pop-up bars.

The Sea Shepherd Melbourne teams are returning to Frankston and they’re really looking forward to what will be an epic day. You’re invited to meet at the Sea Shepherd marquee near the Frankston Pier to register at 10.45am, with a briefing at 10.55am before the clean-up from 11am-12.30pm. After the beach is spotless, there will be sorting and counting from 12.30-1.30pm before packing up at 1.45pm.

You’ll be looking the part if you’re dressed suitably with sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, closed-toe shoes, and water (in a reusable container, of course). The team can provide gloves if you don’t have your own, and clean-up bags are available – but please take note the clean-up is a single-use plastic-free event.

This kid-friendly environmentally aware clean-up will fuel your karma, and the waves will entice you in for a refreshing dip to reward your efforts.

The aim is to keep our oceans plastic-free every day, and hey, it’s the least we can do.
