Revive our oceans - #SeaToSource

Taking action for one of the world’s most solvable environmental problems

#SeaToSource supports people around the country to take action on one of the world’s most solvable environmental issues – ocean litter. 

Why focus on ocean litter?

The litter in our waterways and oceans is around 60-95% plastic which we know has a disastrous impact on the environment and the animals that call these places home. 

So, we’re committed to reducing the amount of plastic litter entering our creeks, rivers and oceans.  

The great Southern Reef

#SeaToSource focuses on 8 waterways which flow into The Great Southern Reef – a huge series of connected reefs that extend around Australia’s coastline, from Moreton Bay, Queensland to Kalbarri in Western Australia.

The Great Southern Reef is home to a wide variety of plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet, and it’s in our own backyard. 

From the Sea to the Source

#SeaToSource focuses on where litter starts its journey, encouraging us all to find ways to eventually make beach clean-ups a thing of the past.

It starts with each of us, and our relationship to our waterways and oceans.

Together we’ll head upstream, working with communities along waterways to identify and reduce pollution in our towns and cities. CVA is running design and innovation challenges to support you and your community to find ways to stop litter at its source.
