Take 3
Take 3 - A Clean Beach Initiative is a non-profit organisation based on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It was formed in 2009 by Tim Silverwood, a surfer, environmentalist and filmmaker, Amanda Marechal, and Marine Ecologist Roberta Dixon-Valk.

Take 3 raises awareness of marine debris, especially plastic, and empowers every individual to make a difference by taking 3 pieces of rubbish before leaving the beach, places near waterways or coastal areas.

In 2010, Take 3 won the Taronga Green Grant: $50,000 offered by the Taronga Foundation from Taronga Zoo.

In July 2010, the co-founder Tim Silverwood went on a research expedition to document the [|Great Pacific Garbage Patch], also known as North Pacific Gyre or Pacific Trash Vortex.
