Local Beach
Your class can visit your local beach to perform a litter survey. Some sand beaches in the Melbourne metropolitan area are regularly raked by special tractors. These remove most litter, including dangerous objects, so the beaches are safer for beach goers. For litter surveys and to provide a useful ‘clean-up’ of a beach, it would be better to travel outside this area.
