The “Life to Our Beaches” project, initiated by Biodiversity Sri Lanka and the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA), is an inspiring initiative dedicated to preserving and cleaning Sri Lanka’s beautiful coastal areas. This annual project focuses on enhancing the cleanliness and ecological health of our beaches, ensuring they remain pristine and welcoming for both residents and tourists.
This year, the project has received an exciting boost with the Citizen Development Bank (CDB) joining as a new partner, demonstrating their commitment to environmental conservation. Together, we aim to make a significant impact on three major beach areas: Dehiwala, Wellawatta and Mt. Lavinia.
The “Life to Our Beaches” initiative is not only about removing waste but also about educating the public on the importance of protecting our marine environment. The combined effort of BSL, MEPA, and CDB is expected to inspire more organisations and communities to participate in maintaining these beautiful coastlines. By bringing together the expertise and resources of these organizations, the project is set to make a lasting difference, ensuring that our beaches remain safe and clean.
As we continue to expand our efforts, we invite more private sector companies to join us in this vital mission. Your participation can significantly amplify our impact, fostering a collective commitment to safeguarding our coastlines. Together, we can champion sustainable practices, inspire community engagement, and ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. Join us in making a difference today!
