Marine Debris Task Force - Phase 2
As we progress into Phase 2 of the Marine Debris Task Force, we’re thrilled to share highlights from our clean-up at Gaubuth Beach on beautiful Badu Island. With a fantastic turnout from the local community, rangers, and specialists, this event showcased the collective dedication to preserving our precious marine environment and working toward sustainable, innovative solutions.
Phase 2 Highlights:
📍 Deeper community engagement: Encouraging active participation in clean-ups and collaborating on impactful initiatives.
📍 Cutting-edge technology: With KJR, we’re leveraging advanced drone mapping and AI to identify and track plastics and marine debris, enhancing efficiency and data-driven strategies.
📍 Innovative solutions: Partnering with scientists, stakeholders, and industry experts to explore recycling techniques and develop a circular economy for marine debris.
Every clean-up, every piece of debris collected, and every voice added is a step toward a cleaner, healthier Torres Strait. Together, we’re protecting our home for generations to come.

    Went fishing with Bala Ron Jawai , Reg Segasio and a couple of the boys opposite Crab Island and I had a box jellyfish on my wrist. Like a 240 volt shock and heaps of pain ,sat down on the sand and yelled out if they had vineger. Ron said we bring the vineger for namase not for marikai. I told them get the vineger or I get the 45 magnum for bala. That vineger stopped the pain. Where I was stung there were 3 adult box jelly fish ,lucky I had long footy socks on ,there were tentacles wrapped around my calf,,no socks I die. Esso
