Untrashing Yalangbara | A Sea Shepherd Australia Short Documentary

In October, our Marine Debris Crew, working with the Dhimurru Land and Sea Rangers, removed 10.98 tonnes of plastic pollution from Yalangbara in North-East Arnhem Land.
Since 2018, we have been helping the Dhimurru Rangers remove plastic pollution from Djulpan, an important turtle nesting beach. Last year, we finally reached the end of the 14 km beach!
This year, at the request of the Traditional Owners, we started cleaning up a new beach called Yalangbara, a culturally significant area for the Yolngu people and another critical nesting beach for marine turtles.
Sadly, this important beach has been massively impacted by the tide of plastic pollution that washes up from the Arafura Sea. But thanks to the hard work of the rangers and crew, this beautiful beach has been returned to the pristine condition it deserves, allowing turtles who come to nest here to do so free from the threats of plastic pollution.
We’re proud to acknowledge Parks Australia for funding this vital work and supporting efforts to protect these precious ecosystems.
