Ms Danielle was organising another event for the weekend after next called a "trash dash", where people will arrive at Mount Maunganui beach and go on a trash treasure hunt - finding and picking up pieces of rubbish she had already photographed and mapped out on her phone.
She hoped businesses would donate prizes for the event.
Kiwi Daddies Tauranga leader Chris Sio said the support group for dads aimed to get into the community and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.
The fledgling group has about 300 members in Tauranga and many turned up at Waikareao Estuary to help with yesterday's event.
