What a great day the Leigh wharf and harbour clean up was! We had an amazing turn out of people with 27 scuba divers, 15 snorkellers and lots of people on land collecting rubbish and giving back to our moana. It was lovely to see our young rangatahi learning about recycling rather than placing everything into one bin. We found rubbish ranging from ovens, flattened rats, fishing lines to an entire dinghy.

Big thank you to all our sponsors that helped make the day fun. The community worked hard to win the prizes and treats supplied from: mares, ssi, ssi international, ti point reptile park, Leigh eats, new world, marine deals, sawmill, Whangateau holiday park, clearyak, glassbottom boat, blue oceans, sculptureum and less waste.

And an even bigger THANK You to the Leigh and surrounding community for showing your support and working hard.
