International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19th is a promise to bring cleanliness and purity to nature as a whole. The day was started as a way to raise awareness about the growing pollution on various beaches of the world. Help us keep Malapascua beautiful on September 19th! Beaches are amazing places for us to explore and enjoy together. But when they’re covered in trash, it puts these natural spaces at risk. That’s why cleaning up your local beach is so important – it helps ensure that everyone, from near and far, can appreciate the beauty of your beach. Over the past few years, we’ve been shocked by headlines about sea life dying due to consuming or getting trapped by the waste we throw in the oceans. When our garbage washes up on coastlines, it’s our chance to take it out before the tide drags it back out. By removing the trash we find on the beach, we’re doing our part to make sure that marine animals don’t get hurt by it.
