Beach clean-ups with Sea Shepherd Australia's Grahame Lloyd (Part 1 of 2)

Grahame Lloyd is the Gold Coast Marine Debris Coordinator for Sea Shepherd Australia. Every month, Grahame generously gives up his spare time to coordinate Sea Shepherd Australia beach and park clean-ups on the Gold Coast - and also helps out with clean-ups in other areas such as Moreton Island and Djulpan Beach in Arnhem Land. We talk about the type and quantity of pollution removed by the awesome Sea Shepherd Australia volunteers, and potential additional solutions to help stem the tide of marine debris.

This is a two-part conversation, with the second (and final) part released next week.
