Since April 2015, the Working Group has launched the Shorelines Cleanup Day to partner with the community to protect the environment and keep Hong Kong’s shorelines clean. Various organisations including schools, non-governmental organisations and commercial companies have joined and contributed to a cleaner coastal environment. This year, we will continue looking partners to organise joint shorelines cleanup events. Our partners will be our 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, stationery, portable scales, etc.) and, where necessary, land transportation.
Please join us in keeping our shorelines clean and see how your actions could help protect the marine environment. We are recruiting partners for the cleanup events in two stages.
The schedule for the first stage (May to August 2022) is as follows:
