Surf Life Saving Clubs save lives at the beach. But what do we do when it’s the beaches that need saving?
Take 3 has created an easy way for your Surf Life Saving Club to be proactive in protecting your beach from plastic pollution. Over 800 species of marine wildlife are affected by our litter. By keeping our beaches clean and litter free, we can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent marine creatures including turtles, birds, whales, dolphins, and fish.
Welcome to the Take 3 SLSC Program!
This project is a NSW Environment Protection Authority ‘Waste Less Recycle More’ initiative, funded from the waste levy.
“As surf lifesavers, I believe we have a responsibility to give back to our beaches that have given us so much. This program is an easy way to take this first step.”
Lizzie Welborn, Surf Lifesaver and Take 3 SLSC Project Manager
The Take 3 SLSC Program offers a partnership with Surf Life Saving Clubs, providing FREE resources clubs can use to educate and inspire their community to become active in protecting our beaches from pollution. The program contains information on how to:
There are four different levels surf clubs can sign up for: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Local Litter Champion. Each level has different requirements, allowing surf clubs to implement the program in a way that suits them. Once you sign up and make an account, all the instructions and information needed is found on the profile page, which is provided in short and informative online videos.
Data collected from beach clean-ups and other activities can be uploaded to the surf club’s profile for their own record and to send back to Take 3. The program is generally run by a junior and senior representative elected by the surf club, but can also be run by multiple members, whatever works best.
The program is an easy and fun way to start making positive environmental change!
