Why Beach Clean-Ups Matter
Beach clean-ups play a crucial role in:
- Reducing Marine Pollution: Removing trash from beaches prevents it from entering the ocean, where it can harm marine life.
- Promoting Sustainability: Encouraging responsible waste management and recycling practices.
- Engaging the Community: Bringing people together to take collective action for the environment.
- Protecting Marine Life: Reducing the risk of entanglement and ingestion of harmful debris by marine animals.
