Take 3
Take 3 for the Sea is a non-profit organisation based on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. In 2009, two friends marine ecologist, Roberta Dixon-Valk and youth educator, Amanda Marechal developed Take 3 – an idea where a simple action could produce profound consequences. Joining forces with environmentalist, Tim Silverwood, the trio publicly launched Take 3 as an organisation in 2010. Take 3 raises awareness of marine debris, especially plastic, and encourages individuals to take 3 pieces of rubbish before leaving the beach, places near waterways or coastal areas. In 2011, Take 3 won the Taronga Green Grant: $50,000 offered by the Taronga Foundation from Taronga Zoo. In July 2011, co-founder  Silverwood went on a research expedition to document the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also known as North Pacific Gyre or Pacific Trash Vortex. See also
