Clean up for the Hatchlings is a free event run by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with ReefCheck Australia, Unitywater, and SeaLife Sunshine Coast, inspiring the whole community to come together to help clean up Sunshine Coast beaches in preparation for the hatchling turtles. This year is our 10th year cleaning up for the hatchlings.

The beach clean up will take place at various locations from Coolum to North Bribie Island between 6am – 7am.

Following the beach clean ups, volunteers will be welcomed to weigh and sort debris, listen to guest speakers, enjoy a free BBQ, join the childrens activities plus more at the Coopers Lookout Park Kawana.
