Plastic-Free Fisheries Harbour Program
Cod Bay
28 Aug 2026Oceanpick and our Cod Bay stakeholders came together to continue our ongoing “Plastic-Free Fisheries Harbour” initiative.
Rather than working to a fixed schedule, our goal was simple — keep the harbour clean. Together, we removed 150 kg of waste from the piers, including approximately 66 kg of plastics and polythene.
This initiative proves that even a high-traffic space like a fisheries harbour can be kept clean and sustainable, when every stakeholder shows up for a shared goal.

- Continues Oceanpick’s commitment to a clean, plastic-free fisheries harbour environment at Cod Bay.
