World Ocean Day is an international day that takes place annually on 8th June.

The Programme was inaugurated by Professor Dr. S.

Jayalalithaa Fisheries University, delivered awareness lecture on cleanliness and hygiene in the coastal beaches, Ms. H. Noorul Samsoon Maharifa, Asst.

The Cleanup data has revealed the composition of various marine debris along the coasts which includes, plastic bottles, Thermocol, plastic wrappers, glass bottles, paper cups, cigarette buds, plastic bottle caps, etc. Most (80%) of the debris in our beaches and shorelines are due to anthropogenic activities. The debris travel through storm drains or creeks into the beaches and ocean. Most of the debris are Plastic bottles and Plastic wrappers (55%) which is followed by glass bottles (20%) and others include cigarette buds, bottle caps, straws, nets etc., make up the remaining percentage (25 %). The recyclable things like paper are very few when compared to the non-biodegradable things. The district administration should empower strict laws for the tourists coming here to make the beaches trash free and ensure the source segregation should be carried at individual houses.

Volunteers students from the Dept. of Marine and Coastal Studies, School of Energy Sciences, Madurai Kamaraj University, Velu Manoharan Arts and Science College for Women, Ramnad, Sethupathy Govt.
