COASTAL CLEAN UP
“Let’s Clean the Beach”
INTRODUCTION
A beach clean-up is essentially a volunteer activity among concerned citizens
that regularly takes place along coastlines worldwide. People pitch in to collect beach
trash to make the beach a more pleasant and safer place for everyone. Cleaning the
beach also improves the coastal and ocean ecosystem by ensuring that none of the
trash kills marine life or is toxic enough to disrupt the aquatic life cycle.
A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our
coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them. By identifying the most harmful debris
items, environmental groups can find ways to stop them from entering the ocean or
being littered again on beaches. Therefore, the proponent of this project conducted a
cleanup drive specifically the cleaning of the beach to avoid polluting the water. This
kind of program and project minimize its long terms effect to the environment.
