Highlights include:\n* “Storms uncover massive beach plastic pollution” (read here)\n* Colleen Hughson and Gary Ryan on **Triple R Radio Marinara** discussing solutions for fishing debris.\n* **Massive 738kg of rubbish collected in bay clean-up **featured on **Eco Voice. **Read here.\n\n**Grants and Growth**\n\nThanks to a **Warrnambool City Council community grant**, we purchased a mobile defibrillator, volunteer t-shirts, and other safety gear. These investments ensure our group can continue thriving. We also received a generous donation from Rotary Club Warrnambool East which has assisted us with keeping our Bottle Overboard data entry up-to-date. \n\n**Bottles Overboard**\n\nThis year we’ve collected over **1,000 foreign-origin bottles** not sold in Australia, and Colleen submitted a **Bottles Overboard Data Report** to the **IMO**. This report was co-sponsored by Clean Arctic Alliance, Friends of the Earth International and the Clean Shipping Coalition. This effort highlights the issue of illegal marine plastic discharge and pushes for global action.\n\n**Looking Ahead to 2025**\n\nWhile we celebrate the progress made, we remain committed to tackling the ongoing challenges our oceans face. With your help, we’ll continue turning the tide on plastic pollution in the new year.\n\nThank you for being part of our Beach Patrol family. Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful festive season, however you choose to spend it. Here’s to a bright, blue, and beautiful 2025!\n\n(I would have liked to have used 'Holding out for a hero' as the music track to this video but copyright means I have to stick to production music. So you will have to just imagine an epic track)"

"text": "The saga continues! The Compact Flash Drive that was supposed to take 5-8 days to reach the Netherlands is now on Day 16, according to Australia Post tracking. Could it actually take longer to send a package by air than it does for a Wave Buoy to float here from Bangladesh by sea? 🤔✈️🌊Meanwhile, the Wave Buoy itself is preparing for its next adventure—it’s heading back home to the Netherlands next week. What a journey this little wanderer has had, and it’s not over yet! 🚢While we’re all waiting for news, I’ve made a new video about the buoy itself: What actually is a Wave Buoy? 💡 I sat down with Wave Buoy Team Leader, Deakin University’s Associate Professor Daniel Ierodiaconou, and learned something fascinating. Ever heard of the doldrums?Sure, we all know the word to mean feeling flat or stuck, but it turns out it’s also a nautical term! The doldrums are a belt around the equator where winds are so calm that sailing ships used to get stuck for days. How did our buoy cross the doldrums from north to south? 🤯Check out the video to dive into the science and mysteries of the buoy’s incredible journey!#WaveRiderBuoy #OceanMysteries #WhatIsAWaveBuoy #TheDoldrums #CitizenScience"

"text": "🌊🌍 Today, Beach Patrol 3280-3284 joined the #GreatGlobalNurdleHunt! We trekked out to Second Bay, past the wetlands, over sand dunes—felt like a real hunting expedition! 🎯 Armed with glass jars, bags, and sieves, 30 of us hunted for two hours and snatched up a whopping **3,000 sneaky Nurdles** (those pesky pre-production plastic pellets). 👀\n\nFor some, it was their first hunt, and those Nurdles were tough to spot in the seaweed and pumice. But once we got our eyes in, they were *everywhere*! 😲 We made it back to the cars just in time to dodge a downpour.\n\nWhile counting up our Nurdle haul, we also found **over 4,000** other small hard microplastic fragments—nasty bycatch of our polluted shores. 🥲 It’s a bittersweet victory, but we're determined to keep fighting this plastic plague! 💪 #NurdleHunt #PlasticPollution #BeachCleanUp"

"text": "The saga continues! The Compact Flash Drive that was supposed to take 5-8 days to reach the Netherlands is now on Day 16, according to Australia Post tracking. Could it actually take longer to send a package by air than it does for a Wave Buoy to float here from Bangladesh by sea? 🤔✈️🌊Meanwhile, the Wave Buoy itself is preparing for its next adventure—it’s heading back home to the Netherlands next week. What a journey this little wanderer has had, and it’s not over yet! 🚢While we’re all waiting for news, I’ve made a new video about the buoy itself: What actually is a Wave Buoy? 💡 I sat down with Wave Buoy Team Leader, Deakin University’s Associate Professor Daniel Ierodiaconou, and learned something fascinating. Ever heard of the doldrums?Sure, we all know the word to mean feeling flat or stuck, but it turns out it’s also a nautical term! The doldrums are a belt around the equator where winds are so calm that sailing ships used to get stuck for days. How did our buoy cross the doldrums from north to south? 🤯Check out the video to dive into the science and mysteries of the buoy’s incredible journey!#WaveRiderBuoy #OceanMysteries #WhatIsAWaveBuoy #TheDoldrums #CitizenScience"

"text": "🌊🌍 Today, Beach Patrol 3280-3284 joined the #GreatGlobalNurdleHunt! We trekked out to Second Bay, past the wetlands, over sand dunes—felt like a real hunting expedition! 🎯 Armed with glass jars, bags, and sieves, 30 of us hunted for two hours and snatched up a whopping **3,000 sneaky Nurdles** (those pesky pre-production plastic pellets). 👀\n\nFor some, it was their first hunt, and those Nurdles were tough to spot in the seaweed and pumice. But once we got our eyes in, they were *everywhere*! 😲 We made it back to the cars just in time to dodge a downpour.\n\nWhile counting up our Nurdle haul, we also found **over 4,000** other small hard microplastic fragments—nasty bycatch of our polluted shores. 🥲 It’s a bittersweet victory, but we're determined to keep fighting this plastic plague! 💪 #NurdleHunt #PlasticPollution #BeachCleanUp"
