Local volunteers and community members joined together to clean coastal areas and raise awareness about waste management in Maratua.
This activity is part of Maratua Foundation’s ongoing Care program, which focuses on waste management, environmental awareness, and community-based action to protect the island’s ecosystem.
Through collaboration with local people, the program encourages practical action that helps reduce plastic pollution before it reaches beaches, coral reefs, and marine habitats.
“Caring for Maratua begins with small actions done together by the community.”
The clean-up activity also became an opportunity to educate youth and residents about responsible waste handling and the importance of keeping public spaces clean.
Why This Activity Matters
Waste pollution threatens both the environment and community health. By strengthening local participation, Maratua Foundation hopes to build long-term habits that support cleaner villages, healthier beaches, and stronger marine conservation.
