🍑 Melbourne, it's time for the Big Butt Hunt! 🍑
The Big Butt Hunt Returns - World Cleanup Day, September 20 2026
The Big Butt Hunt is back for its fifth year! No More Butts is partnering with Sea Shepherd to encourage communities nationwide to tackle Australia’s most littered item, cigarette butts.
Join Sea Shepherd Melbourne for a fun morning making a real difference for our coastlines.
Cigarette butts are the most commonly littered item found during beach and waterway clean-ups. They don't just disappear—they break down into microplastics and leach toxic chemicals into our marine environment, threatening wildlife and polluting our oceans.
📅 Sunday 20 September
🕙 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
📍 Bay Trail Port Melbourne
37°49'45.7"S 144°54'02.9"E
Meeting point off Lorimer St where the Westgate Punt departs from. Approx 216 Lorimer Street Port Melbourne
😊Everyone is welcome—bring your friends, family or come along solo and help make a difference.
We'll provide a briefing, collect as many cigarette butts as we can, and help protect the marine life that calls our waterways home.
What to bring:
🧤 BYO gloves
🥾 Wear closed-in shoes
☀️ Be SunSmart
💧 Reusable water bottle (no single-use plastic, please)
🖤💛❤️
Every butt collected is one less piece of plastic entering our oceans. Join the hunt and help us make Melbourne's coastline cleaner—one butt at a time.
💙 See you there!
Sea Shepherd Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians upon whose ancestral lands we live and work. We pay respect to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge the continuing connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the land, sea, sky, and waterways. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
