Indian Navy undertakes coastal clean up drive
The 36th International Coastal Cleanup Day was celebrated consecutively for the tenth year by Eastern Naval Command (ENC) on Saturday.
Visakhapatnam: The 36th International Coastal Cleanup Day was celebrated consecutively for the tenth year by Eastern Naval Command (ENC) on Saturday.
Marking the occasion, the ENC undertook coastal cleanup drive at Yarada Beach, Bheemili Beach and other sea fronts within premises of naval units at Visakhapatnam.
Approximately 500 naval personnel, defence civilians and their families carried out the cleanup drive following COVID-19 protocols. The cleanup drive was aimed at creating awareness among people to keep our beaches clean, safeguarding the environment and inculcating the habit of respecting coastlines.
The International Coastal Cleanup began more than 30 years ago when communities came together with a common goal of collecting and documenting the trash littering their coastline. Every year, on the third Saturday of September, the international coastal cleanup community encourages people around the world to remove trash and debris from beaches, waterways and other waterbodies, to identify the sources of the litter, to change behaviours that cause pollution and to raise awareness on the extent of the marine debris problem.
