Event Highlights

Participants were divided into smaller groups to clean up different sections of the beach.

Founder of Plastic Free Seas, Dana, was teaching the kids to distinguish organic waste such as seaweed.

Plastic waste in the ocean were broken up into microplastics and washed up onshore endangering marine life.

Dana and the participants were categorising the plastic bottles.

Marine creatures such as crabs and jelly fish were found at the beach during the clean up.

In her debriefing remarks, Dana urged participants to reduce plastic waste in daily life.
