Litter Citizen Science Program

The 'Greater Geelong Plastic Pollution Survey' is part of the world's largest plastic pollution citizen science survey lead by the prestigious CSIRO Marine Debris Team and facilitated by Bellarine Catchment Network across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula. This program helps us better understand the sources, movement, distribution and impacts our waste can have and is supported by the City of Greater Geelong.

Volunteers head out across Geelong and the Bellarine every April and October to collect data about plastic. To register your interest in this program, email info@bcn.org.au 

Featured below is some of our original litter audit monitors. They include local residents, Conservation Volunteers teams and Department of Justice teams. We would like to thank them all for supporting the CFOB program since it's inception.
