PLASTIC & POLLUTION
Our life on the land, from the plastics we use everyday to the chemicals we use to wash our cars, ultimately drains into our bays. Not only does this impact our precious marine wildlife, but also reduces water quality for swimming, aquaculture, fishing and tourism. The viability of Bayside businesses and property values are dependent on healthy bays.
Here we provide you with some general information and stories explaining why plastics and pollution is such a critical issue, as well as useful tips to reduce your pollution impact. You can also check out some awesome groups and events to get involved in!
