The history of Sustainable Coastlines:

Organisers are overwhelmed with the success of the massive coastal clean-up event on Aotea/Great Barrier Island on 3rd and 4th May. Hundreds of volunteers tackled the rugged coastlines on foot, from boats and in kayaks to remove over 2.2 tonnes of rubbish from the remote island – a true show of their passion to keep New Zealand beautiful.
Event Director Sam Judd first saw the rubbish problem on Great Barrier while working as a commercial freediver. After running a similarly successful event in Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands (where he simultaneously achieved international recognition as the , he and several other volunteers – collectively known as Sustainable Coastlines – organised this massive event, all in the space of six weeks, from the offices of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Society. Great Barrier Island was chosen as a perfect example of a pristine location that needs to be preserved for their inaugural NZ event.
Experts from the Waitemata Harbour Clean-up Trust estimate that 85-90% of the waste that ends up on Great Barrier Island’s beaches comes off the streets of Auckland, down through the stormwater systems, and is blown across Hauraki Gulf by the prevailing south-westerly winds. Fittingly, the tonnes of waste that were removed from the beaches of the island have now been returned to whence they came.
