More Shells and Swells: Shoreline Clean-Up and Art Workshop

Join us to meet fun people while doing a cleanup followed by lunch & creative art workshop for a plastic-free future.

This event invites ocean lovers to explore the global plastic crisis, learn about its impacts on marine ecosystems and communities, and discover how international initiatives such as the Global Plastics Treaty are working toward solutions. Together, we'll discuss practical ways to take action locally and become part of a growing movement for healthier oceans.

After a shoreline cleanup and interactive workshop, we'll share a free lunch before moving into a creative art session. Using collage and watercolours, participants will reflect on their relationship with the ocean and express their vision for a more sustainable future. No artistic experience is needed—all materials are provided.
