The Conservation Council of South Australia, South Australias peak environmental body with over 55 member groups, is proud to be a part of Clean Up Australia Day this Sunday March 1st.

CCSAs award winning Reef Watch program, now in its 11th year, is again donning the rubber and heading to sea to see what they can see (and clean it up!)

Over one hundred divers will be joining in to make this years clean up the biggest yet! Participants will be snorkelling or SCUBA diving, helping pick up rubbish and monitoring the marine environment for feral marine species.


Reef Watch co-ordinated dives will be taking place across the states waters including: Brighton Jetty, Port Noarlunga Reef, Victor Harbor (Screw Pile Jetty), Stanvac Barges, OSullivans Beach, Rapid Bay, Aldinga Reef, and Port Broughton and Port Victoria on the Yorke Peninsula.

Reef Watch is a program of the Conservation Council of SA and is funded by the Adelaide & Mt Lofty Ranges, Northern & Yorke, and Eyre Peninsula Natural Resource Management Boards.
