Something to sing about
Rocky Lobster sings for a clean marine environment

There is no doubt our Tosser! campaign is achieving its objectives of less litter. Now in its seventh year, it’s the EPA’s largest behaviour change program. You can see and hear the ads right now on tv and radio, social media and supported partnerships.
In response to the growth of litter in our waterways and oceans and its detrimental effect on marine life, we launched an exciting new marine litter campaign in early March, starring Rocky Lobster.
Many marine animals are injured by debris from everyday items such as straws, plastic bags and cigarette butts. Research shows that over 90% of litter found in the marine environment is plastic and this is a big issue with the community. More than 16,000 submissions for the NSW Plastics Plan consultation in 2020 indicated the community wants more done to prevent the impact of plastic on the environment.
