A harbour full of rubbish
Thirty-two road cones, nine bikes, six shopping trolleys, and 20 skateboards and scooters are just some of the items retrieved from Wellington Harbour in 2020.
Every month, the Bubble Busters Adventure Club gathers at Waitangi Park and dives the waters between Taranaki Wharf and Chaffers Marina, collecting trash from the seabed.
The Welington City Council reports that during 2020, the group collected more than 1000 aluminium cans, 500 plastic items (including food packaging and eating utensils), 64 glass bottles and jars, and six chairs and tables.
There was also a heap of electric of mobile phones and clothing.
