On 22 Sept. 2018, Selangor Government & 600 over participants turned up as an effort to directly address recent and surging incidences involving the death and threats of marine life caused by excessive marine debris.
A Shared Sense of Responsibility to Salvage the Ocean System
Through a beach cleaning initiative, participants were required to collect as much trash as possible, which was then converted into data used as substantive proof to sensitise policy makers, researchers and the government to promptly develop firmer recycling habits and greater infrastructure for the country’s waste management system.
Educate Citizen
Metrics Global Managing Director, Mr Jackal Chua stresses the importance of genuinely understanding just how grave the situation has become. Thus teamed up with Reef Check Malaysia (RCM) to investigate the amount of trash, and level up solutions by inculcating the use of fun technology. Promoting every participants in playing an active and consistent role in the preservation of our marine ecosystem and the environment in general.
Acute Awareness on Endangering Issues
These data are instantaneously uploaded onto the Ocean Conservancy’s global ocean trash database, which then produces a clear and current worldwide snapshot of our trash-infested oceans. The data collected will help to stimulate an urgency for relevant authorities to tackle this issue, as well as provide justified support to informed solutions.
This event is also organised in conjunction with The International Coastal Clean-Up Day.
