Recfishwest recognises that while the majority of the fishing community do the right thing and place their litter in the bin, there are a few who tend to ruin it for the rest of us. No one likes to rock up to a pristine beach to see it scattered with the remnants of food scraps, tinnies and bait bags.  Not only does litter depreciate the amenity of some of our favourite fishing spots, but it also has detrimental effects on the environment.

We believe there’s no time like the present to make a positive impact and take responsibility for our beloved beaches and aquatic environments.

Recfishwest and the Western Angler will be holding a clean-up day on Sunday 10th of February at North Mole, Fremantle.  The clean up session will be a community event, which everyone is invited along to.  We will aim to clean up the entire section of coastline from Port Beach round to the tip of the Mole.  So bring your kids, aunty, uncle, granny and grandad along for a fun community event and make a positive impact on the coast!

We will be meeting at the end of North Mole Drive at 10:00am and will finish up at 12:30 for a free sausage sizzle and refreshments.  All equipment will be supplied including gloves, rubbish bags, garbage grabbers and sunscreen.

Prizes will be awarded for the biggest bag(s) of rubbish and the most unusual item found.
