A LOCAL diving group is aiming to give back to a popular recreation spot with a clean up scheduled for Coogee’s Ammo Jetty on Saturday.

Volunteers, including divers and Sea Shepherd’s local Marine Debris Team, collected more than 12,500 items from the land and water during a clean up in February.
Among the haul was more than 5km of fishing line.
Saturday’s event, which will be held between 9.30am and 12.30pm, will be held as part of World Oceans Day.
