What is a strawkle?

A strawkle is a snorkel for straws and other marine debris. Since Summer 2018, volunteers have collectively removed over 4,800+ straws from Manly Cove.

What do you need for the event?

• You must bring your own snorkel, mask, and fins. Wetsuits are optional but recommended due to the temperature of the water.
• If you don't have snorkel gear, contact our friends at Pittwater Eco Adventures or Dive Centre Manly to rent some for the event.
• You must be a competent swimmer and confident in the water, and already know how to snorkel as we do not provide training.
• Eventbrite ticket
