An Australasian gannet (Morus serrator) drowned in a Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) radiosonde (i.e. weather balloon) on Brighton Beach (Victoria, Australia). Found entangled with another gannet that had not yet drowned, this one was literally acting as a dead weight, whilst the other struggled to survived. Pulled from the water, people called the wonderful Zoos Victoria Marine Response Unit (MRU) who came and collected both. Sadly, the other gannet also didn't survive. The BOM releases 56 such balloons each day to collect data, and hope to replace the material they make these from with more environmentally sustainable materials in 2022.

He joined Lionel for the morning low tide where they spotted spotted 3 bikes and one Franklin's trolley. They thought it would be hard to get it out but they won! #northernbeachescleanupcrew #nbcuc #Avalon #litter #rubbish #beachcleanup  Single use items are littered much more often than reusable ones. How often don't you see single use face masks and single use coffee cups? Compare it to how often you see reusable masks and coffee cups littered. Best is to use reusable as often as possible. Less litter that way. And less animals entangled in litter. #northernbeachescleanupcrew #nbcuc #plastic #plasticfree #beachcleanup #litter #rubbish #northernbeaches  This man is recycling old picnic coolers into shelters for stray cats for winter! How very cool is this?! Source: Reddit/mattbot106 #northernbeachescleanupcrew #repurpose #nbcuc  |
