More rubbish removed from foreshore
The Brisbane Water Secondary College Support Unit in conjunction with oyster grower Simon Funnel conducted a foreshore clean-up from Woy Woy Bridge to Koolewong Station and Saratoga Island on Friday, July 26.
Thirteen students and two teachers worked for 54 hours to remove a total of 640kgs of litter and oyster products from the Brisbane Water Foreshore.
The group, equipped with wetsuits and spray jackets, boarded an oyster barge and IRB for the trip to the mangroves beside the main road.
Litter and oyster products immediately appeared from the Woy Woy Bridge, with many plastic bottles and bags collected by the students.
The incoming high tide allowed the barge to easily access the mangroves and foreshore.
Thirty-five bags in total were filled with small items, with 34 pieces of oyster foam also retrieved.
All of the litter was moved to Woy Woy tip by Gosford Council contractors.
