Waṉuwuy (Cape Arnhem) is a place of breathtaking beauty. It is where the vivid red of the land meets the endless blue of the sea, where cliffs and beaches stretch untouched across the horizon. Yet despite the isolation and remoteness, this coast is not immune to the rising tide of global plastic pollution.
In May 2025, Sea Shepherd Australia’s Marine Debris Campaign team returned to the remote coastline of Northeast Arnhem Land for our annual clean-up operation with the Dhimurru Land and Sea Rangers. This campaign, now a deeply valued collaboration between Sea Shepherd and the Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation, brings together two groups with a shared mission: to protect and preserve the coastline of the Dhimurru Indigenous Protected Area.
