latest news from clean ocean


Saturday Age - 12 Nov 22

Our campaign to draw attention to the connection between water supply and ocean pollution got the attention of Melbourne's media this week:
Clean Ocean Foundation chief executive John Gemmill said he feared the recent heavy rain and effluent discharged at Gunnamatta would place further stress on the marine environment.
“We’ve got to stop dumping rubbish in our oceans,” he said.
The foundation wants the state government to establish a water recycling plant to remove refuse and reuse the water, rather than pumping it out at Gunnamatta.
“Once it’s out in the ocean you’ve lost control over it,” he said. “It’s a dirty conversation, but it’s one we must have.”   - Go to Article

Can you believe it?
