“This World Ocean’s Day, we’re sending a clear message that the elimination of plastic pollution in our water is paramount if we want to protect Endangered turtles like Tama and other precious sea life. Entering this partnership with Seabin demonstrates our long-term commitment to environmental sustainability and the conservation of our waterways. The catch we see removed daily shows how vital these units are to protecting our marine life and over the three-year partnership, we hope to collect more than 3 tonnes of marine litter! What a difference that will make to Sydney Harbour!”

“SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is a long-term, valued friend of Seabin and we are thrilled to see the partnership grow from strength to strength as they come onboard as a proud Unit Sponsor of Seabin's Smart City Program; Sydney; ensuring ongoing daily clean-up and data monitoring of a high need location in Darling Harbour. The SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium hosted and sponsored unit is one of the hardest working units in our fleet. In the first quarter of this year, it filtered over 53.4 million litres of water; the equivalent of 21 Olympic swimming pools, removing over 271kg of marine litter, which included an estimated 332,956 plastic items, of which 218,299 were microplastics; a worrying statistic for our marine life. Together, with the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium unit, we will work towards a goal to collect over 1,000 kilograms of ocean waste per year, and utilise the data from these catches to help turn off the tap to plastic pollution.”
