Help bring Seabins to Milford Marina

Next Rotary Generation (NRG) North Shore have started this campaign because we want to help kick start the clean-up of the Wairau Estuary, Milford Marina and Milford Beach area, improve the water quality and take a stand against ocean plastics!

Our goal is to raise enough money to install a Seabin in the Milford Marina, where the Wairau Estuary flows into and the rubbish and debris collects. We want to catch the plastics, rubbish and pollutants here and stop them from being swept through the Marina and into our swimming beaches and the wider ocean.

We need your help to raise money to buy a Seabin, a revolutionary ocean cleaning technology which is essentially a floating rubbish bin that operates 24/7 catching all floating debris in the water - from plastics to organic debris, to oils and petrol floating on top of the surface of the water!

There are over 800 Seabins worldwide, and only 5 currently in NZ - we want to help clean the ocean of floating debris which in turn creates cleaner oceans and we all benefit from this in one way or another.

Did you know that 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced in the world every year, half of which is for single use products, from this more than 8 million tonnes of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year. We need to do something about it and now with the purchase of a Seabin we can all participate and make a difference.

Join us and our campaign to help clean up our local beaches and ensure cleaner oceans!
