AMDI Database - Tangaroa Blue

The Australian Marine Debris Initiative Database was created to enable volunteers and organisations who were running marine and coastal clean-up events to also collect data on what they were finding with a consistent methodology so it could be collated into a standardised national database on marine debris.

Since 2004 more than 21 million pieces of data have been added into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative Database, creating a comprehensive overview of what amounts and types of marine debris are impacting beaches around the country.
