Keep it Clean – Manning River NSW
March 3 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm AEDT
Keep it Clean for the Manning!
Join like-minded individuals who share a love for fishing and a commitment to environmental stewardship to clean up around the Manning Point foreshore. Together we’re not just picking up litter, we’re forging connections that amplify the impact of our actions.
When you dedicate your time to cleaning up our shorelines and riverbanks, you’re not only preventing plastic and debris from harming marine life, you’re also creating change and inspiring others to follow suit.
Head to the Keep it Clean project page for more tips on how to make a positive impact and be a responsible fisho.
All the litter collected will be sorted and counted, then entered into the Australian Marine Debris Database which is used by researchers to inform future reduction opportunities. Any fishing-related waste will also be sorted and recycled where possible through our Tackle Loop program.
This event is also a Yabby Trap Drop Spot. Bring down any old and unwanted opera house yabby traps and swap it for an Oar-Gee Plow lure at the event to support sustainable fishing practices. Opera house nets are now illegal in NSW and those collected will be recycled into useful products for anglers, with the proceeds being used to support habitat restoration.
Please bring water bottle, closed shoes, hat and sunscreen. Attendees are also welcome to bring their kayaks or boats to assist with the clean up on the water.
Registration is essential. We hope to see you there!
