Marine Litter & Sri Lanka 🐋
World Cleanup Day 2024 marks a significant global effort to reduce marine litter and protect our oceans. In Sri Lanka, passionate volunteers and environmental organizations gathered to address the growing challenge of marine waste. With beaches and coastal areas at risk from plastic pollution, this event mobilized local communities to make a lasting impact on the health of marine ecosystems. By removing harmful debris and promoting awareness, participants took essential steps towards cleaner, more sustainable environments. The global collaboration behind World Cleanup Day reflects the power of collective action in fighting environmental degradation and preserving the planet for future generations
On September 21st, 2024, let’s join hands with millions across the globe to clean up our environment! Marine litter is threatening our oceans, and Sri Lanka’s beautiful beaches and rich biodiversity are no exception. Now is the time to act and protect our shores!
