PARTNERING FOR INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP DAY

PARTNERING FOR INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP DAY

FRIDAY SEPT 29, 2023: PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO –   In recognition of International Coastal Cleanup Day 2023, over 100 volunteers teamed up from as early as 7:30 am on Saturday 16 September to clean up Chagville Beach in Chaguaramas. This immense effort was the result of a partnership between the Digicel Foundation, The Rotary Club of Port of Spain West and Magic Mist. Together, they heeded the global call to engage organisations and volunteers to remove trash from the world’s beaches and waterways under the 2023 theme #SeaTheChange.

The volunteers fulfilled another important goal of the international cleanup initiative by recording data on the trash collected. This data was entered into the world’s largest database on marine debris. Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats our ocean faces, but efforts like this bring us closer towards a long-term solution. The volunteers expressed the desire to make this an ongoing initiative, especially after major holidays and events in Trinidad and Tobago.
