Cooloola Coastcare
On Clean Up Australia Day, willing volunteers of Cooloola Coastcare and the community will be collecting rubbish from Marine Park beaches and National Parks. This helps protect our land and marine species from the dangers of mistakenly eating plastic which kills them. It also reduces the toxins in the sand by removing toxic plastics and cigarette butts. Of course it also makes the area more beautiful.
