Cooya clean-up raring to go

: Many hands make light work. Our region's beaches need your help.

Fossickers, greenies and environment lovers are being called upon to help with clean-up efforts on Cooya Beach tomorrow.

Bottles, plastic and other coastal and marine debris is expected to be collected from the picturesque site between 9.30am to 12pm.

Volunteers can meet at Cooya Beach at 9.30am or for those who would like to carpool from Port Douglas, volunteers can meet at the Wildlife Habitat at 9am.

Volunteers will need to bring drinking water, sunscreen, shoes and lots of energy. All clean up materials will be provided.

Then on Sunday, an education day will be held at the Wildlife Habitat, Port Douglas, where all beach clean-up volunteers will receive a Breakfast with the Birds voucher.

For more information contact Tangaroa Blue on 0410 166 684 or email heidi@oceancare.org.au.

Being part of the *clean up team * was a real experience !
The Group was well organized and we had Heidi from Tangaroa Blue fully versed in ensuring we did the right thing ! Wild Life Habitat were out in force with Garry --*the big man and this included his two great lovely ladies * with us in our team !
The session on Sunday was superb as the info promotional was well presented by Heidi ,and *golly * the food for lunch was worth every step we took collecting the rubbish on the beach at Cooya !
Long may we continue to be a team
*with Garry and Heidi * leading us !!!
