Rakefish with Tuggerah Lakes Secondary students at a beach cleanup hosted by Take 3 in New South Wales.
The Take 3 crew presented the Rakefish sculpture to many schools throughout New South Wales, and featured the sculpture in a variety of environmental events and programs in 2014. Below are some articles and documents from Australia:

Our friends at Take 3 do an amazing job at getting the plastic pollution message out to students & communities throughout New South Wales. We were honored to work with Take 3 for most of 2014, and are very grateful for all their hard work connecting students on both sides of the globe to this important, real-world issue.

'Take 3' is a not-for-profit organisation formed in Australia in 2009 that aims to raise awareness of plastic pollution (marine debris) by encouraging each visitor to the beach, waterway or ... anywhere to simply take 3 pieces of rubbish with them when they leave and dispose of it thoughtfully. We also encourage everyone to reduce unnecessary plastic consumption - and make our lives a little less plastic!
