Coastal Cleanup Activities: Trash collected by students volunteers

 

Text Box: • The awareness campaign highlighted segregating wet and dry waste at source facilitates efficient solution in combating marine pollution. Solid waste segregation at source is least likely to be contaminated with other types of pollutants and therefore more likely to be recycled. Therefore it will gradually reduce the composition of home based debris encountered at coastal regions.
