A successful community clean up event or campaign is not defined solely by the quantity or quality of material that is collected, although these two factors are great for reporting and benchmarking. If a clean up initiative finds momentum and support within the community then it is more likely to find ongoing success in subsequent years, particularly if it is driven from outside the conventional waste management industries, writes Shenagh Gamble. For the first time, a marine debris clean-up of Darwin Harbour was undertaken this year with the support and participation of more than 20 government, non-government and indigenous and community groups.
