Be Our Partner to Organise the Shorelines Cleanup Day (2015-2016)

In order to raise public awareness on keeping our shorelines clean, the WG launched a Clean Shorelines Campaign and a slogan competition in 2013; a Clean Shorelines Day, a comics competition and a video filming competition in 2014. The fun does not stop there. We are now looking for partners to organise joint shorelines cleanup events in the coming year at various locations. Our partners will be co-organisers of individual Shorelines Cleanup Days, mainly to look after the recruitment of volunteers, while we will provide on-site programme briefing on cleanup procedures and refuse data collection for the participants, necessary gears and materials (gloves, garbage bags, data cards, pencils, clipboards, portable scales, etc.) and, where necessary, land transportation. We will publicise the cleanup events on our website, and other interested individuals could contact the organising partners for participating in the cleanup events.

Please join us in keeping our shorelines clean and see how your action could help protect the marine environment. We are recruiting partners for the cleanup events in two stages. The first stage ended in August 2015 and the second stage (December 2015 to March 2016) is now open for registration. The tentative schedule is as follows -
