INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP
The International Coastal Cleanup is the world’s oldest and largest volunteer effort to clean up our Marine environment. Each year, volunteers remove trash and debris from their local beaches, rivers, lakes, and streams – along shorelines and under the water.
Since 1986, over five million volunteers in 123 countries have cleaned 130,000 miles of shoreline -
Sea Scouts and Guides has taken up the initiative to do the clean up in Akurdi at Ravet River, Over 200 cadets with their Parents of the Sea Scouts are going to perform the cleanup.
It is a great honor for our Organization that since the last 19 years, PCMC is helping us to participate in an International program ie. International Coastal Cleanup and with the kind support of the PCMC health department and their officers this was possible.
The abiding message of this cleanup is the need to raise awareness and sensitive people to threats to the Marine Environment. This is to be done by focusing on our youth in schools and colleges through more public talks, workshops, and seminars, and increased networking between environmentalists and NGO’s.
