NORWEGIAN Cruise Line joined Take 3 for the Sea’s International Volunteer Day Beach Cleanup in Sydney last week.
The Norwegian team collected 1,070 pieces of rubbish over half an hour, totalling 2.2 kilograms.
The collected debris included 412 cigarette butts, 147 pieces of plastic food packaging, and more than 150 fragments of solid plastic, primarily microplastics that had broken apart over time.
“I was so surprised by the amount of small rubbish hiding in plain sight,” Sales Coordinator Jordan Dryland said.
“This was such a great learning experience today with Take 3, who are such a great movement.”
William Karrfi, Guest Services, added: “it was a very eye-opening experience…I learnt today how much plastic pollution there actually is.”
Norwegian has this year broadened its partnership with Take 3 for the Sea, to become the exclusive sponsor of its 2024/25 Surf Life Saving Club Program. MS
