In autumn, strolling on the beach and watching the sea is a delightful experience, but floating trash spoils the beautiful scenery. Join us to learn about the richness and beauty of marine ecosystems, and understand the impact of human behaviour on the environment. Every piece of trash we clean up helps protect marine life.

Together, we create waves of change.

• Environmental Awareness: Learn about the importance of protecting our coastlines and the impact of pollution on marine life.
• Sustainability Practices: Raise awareness about eco-friendly habits to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
• Community Engagement: Take actions together to enhance our natural surroundings, hence foster a stronger sense of community.
