			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">It&#8217;s amazing how much junk finds its way to our Bay, so much so that we&#8217;ve come to see it as &#8216;normal&#8217;&#8230; and if it&#8217;s normal it must be OK, right???  Hmmm&#8230; maybe not!</span></strong></p>
<p>Take a stroll along the shore and imagine what it would be like if the junk wasn&#8217;t there.  All it would take is for a lot of people to make very little effort to properly dispose of their junk.  How hard can that be?</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>We all know the right thing to do&#8230; it&#8217;s just a matter of wanting to do it.</strong></span></p>
<p>The Baykeeper shoreline litter surveys, which categorise each litter item, will give us a baywide picture of the types and quantities of  litter in the Bay; and where the  hotspots are.  They&#8217;ll also give us a fair idea of where the litter comes from. This info should provide a good basis to develop litter reduction campaigns in the stormwater catchments which feed into the Bay.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Which beach will win the title of cleanest in the Bay???  Which water catchment  gets the grungiest gong???</span></strong></p>
