An estimated total of 20 x 60 litre bags filled with debris was intercepted from the clean up, amounting to 500m² of beach and coastline cleared.

The initiative is part of WLTH and Parley’s multi-year partnership with the Australia SailGP Team, with the companies committed to cleaning 27,800m² of beach and coastline debris.

An estimated 87.5 kg of marine debris was intercepted from the coastline of “The Beach Planespotting”, Sydney’s notorious hotspot for litter, with most of it destined for recycled products thanks to the efforts of athletes from the Australia SailGP Team, digital lender WLTH and Parley for the Oceans.

Ahead of the upcoming KPMG Australian Sail Grand Prix | Sydney on February 18 – 19, this unique collaboration drives a unified commitment to take real action on environmental preservation as part of WLTH and Parley’s ongoing partnership with the Australia SailGP Team.

Over the lifetime of the partnership, the companies have committed to cleaning 27,800m² of beach and coastline so far as a result of the Australia SailGP Team’s previous race results in the impact league.

Over 35 volunteers from organisations including WLTH, Parley for the Oceans, Sail Racing, Australia Sail GP, Switzerland Sail GP, Denmark Sail GP, and United States Sail GP teams were in attendance. The team cleared rubbish made up of syringes, medical, gas, cannisters, broken glass and more, which posed huge risks to both human and marine life, amounting to approximately 500m² of beach and coastline cleaned.
