Litter Intelligence Project
Envirohub Marlborough participates in the Sustainable Coastline’s Litter Intelligence project by organizing beach clean ups throughout the Marlborough Sounds. The Litter Intelligence project “collects data, provides insights and inspires action for a litter-free Aotearoa”. Envirohub Marlborough’s beach clean ups are part of the national project that trains and equips “citizen scientists” to gather data on the rubbish found in our oceans. This is New Zealand’s first national litter database and it will help build a better understanding of our litter problem. Envirohub Marlborough is proud to be a part of this grassroots action that “ gives politicians and business leaders, students and scientists, writers and researchers the right information to take action for a litter-free world”

Spring Clean - Annual Picton Beach Clean Up
Linda Thompson, a long-time Envirohub Marlborough Trustee and dedicated volunteer has been organising the annual “Spring Clean” Picton Beach Clean Up for the past 10 years. Held on the 2nd Sunday in September, this event brings together many tidy locals to pick up litter and help keep our seaside town looking beautiful. The Picton Girl Guides plus the Waikawa Dive Centre also all pitch in to clean up above and below the water. A popular community event that is sponsored by Picton businesses. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped out over the years!
