Sustainable Coastlines

Sustainable Coastlines enables people to look after the ocean we all love, protecting it from plastic pollution and other litter. They inspire change in mindsets, behaviour, and policy through community beach clean-ups and litter data collection.

Collective
Impact

Over 400 givers have collectively raised $458,246.78 for Sustainable Coastlines. That equates to around 9,165 shopping baskets worth of litter removed from Aotearoa's coastlines and waterways by volunteer locals, coordinated by Sustainable Coastlines.

What We Do.

Since 2008 we've motivated people to volunteer 483,695 hours to remove more than 1.8 million litres of litter from Aotearoa’s coastlines.

Sustainable Coastlines is a multi award-winning New Zealand charity that exists to bring people together to reduce plastic pollution and other litter, protecting the beaches and marine life we all love.

We work towards cleaner coastlines through empowering communities to take action for their local beach through motivational clean-up events, educational programmes, public awareness campaigns, and litter data collection through their Litter Intelligence programme.

We make this litter data available for anyone to use, and work with businesses, councils, and government to inspire change in behaviour, policy, and practices.

Sustainable Coastlines is now an Alumni Charity.

We have been proud to have supported them over the past 9 years and have now moved them to Alumni status to make way for some grassroots charities to take a spot in the sign up form. We love everything about Sustainable Coastlines and will still be passing on 100% of donations from those who signed up to give to them while they were a priority charity of ours. If you'd like to directly support Sustainable Coastlines, please head on over to sustainablecoastlines.org
