Surf Life Saving New Zealand is asking the public to help with an emergency beach clean at Waihī Beach on Tuesday.

'Cyclone Hale has had a devastating effect on our amazing coastline and churned up millions of microplastics, including nurdles,” says Surf Life Saving New Zealand Eastern Region Lifesaving Manager Chaz Gibbons-Campbell.

'These are strewn everywhere across the beach and in particular around the high tide mark.”

Chaz is asking for volunteers – both locals and holidaymakers - to come down to Waihī Beach at the main end and help following a call out by Sustainable Waihī Beach coordinator Pip Coombes.

'Even if you are just visiting - we need to collect as much of the microplastics as possible before the next tail-end cyclone that is due to hit next weekend.”

A series of tropical lows are continuing to form north of New Zealand.

WeatherWatch says more rain is likely in a couple of regions this week as the first low swipes the north eastern corner of the North Island.

"Rain and some wind will likely impact East Cape, Gisborne, Northern Hawke's Bay and perhaps Bay of Plenty mid to late this week - and behind it more lows are likely to form around the Coral Sea and Vanuatu," says a spokesperson for the weather organisation.

"It's a messy set up but another tropical cyclone, or two, are possible in the coming week or so north of New Zealand, offshore for now."

Chaz is hopeful that with hundreds of people helping on Tuesday, a lot of the microplastics can be removed from Waihī Beach before the next storm hits.

'Even 30 minutes of people's time will make a huge difference and stop this pollution from entering the moana again.”

Photos taken along Waihī beach show a lot of microplastics have washed up onto the sand.

'The photos show the reality when you look closely - it is scary stuff when you start digging around,” says Chaz.

'Our marine life, shore and seabirds are all at risk if we don't all muck in and get a good job done.

'Waihī Beach Lifeguard Services have provided some amazing support with 'The Deck', providing a free sausage sizzle, coffee/hot chocolate or soft drink for those participating! Please bring a hat, sun lotion and a reusable water bottle. If you have gloves bring those as well.”

Refillable water bottles can be used at the lifeguard services' refill station or Envirohub's hydro hub.

'Let's make a difference, Waihī Beach!” says Chaz.

The Emergency Waihī Beach Cleanup starts at 9.30am at the main end of Waihī Beach on Tuesday January 17.
