The Scout Associat ion is coordinating for the nineteenth year the “National Coastal and Ri verways Cleanup.” This is in connection with the “International Coas tal Cleanup” organized by Ocean Conservancy (OC) based in Washington\, D C. The campaign aims to create awareness of the importance of the preser vation and conservation of our coastline and Riverways.
\n\nIt is estimated that clo se to 1000 participants comprising students\, youth organizations\, conse rvation groups\, NGO’s and Scouts all around Belize will join forces on Saturday September 25 to clean our coastal line\, cayes and riverways of marine debris and other polluting agents that create life-threatening sit uations to our marine and human life. More important though\, is the rec ording of the kind and quantity of debris collected. Once compiled\, thi s information is used to confront polluters to work out amicable solutions to prevent further pollution.
\nThe countrywide cleanup will begin at 9:00 a.m. and is expec ted to run to mid-day. The close to 1000 expected Belize participants will be joining more than three quarters of a million people on the world s coasts and waterways for the largest global volunteer land and underwa ter cleanup in 2010.
\nMaterials for the event will be sent to all coordinators as soon as we receive confirmation of participation.
