Plastic Punch, UNDP Ghana and the European Union in Ghana is organising a beach cleanup in the Regional Maritime University/ Mighty beach at Nungua, a suburb of Accra.
The motive behind the exercise is to raise awareness of the dangers of plastics to the environment and marine life by involving the youth, local community, and volunteers.
The specified areas for the exercise are home to endangered species of turtles that come to nest on a plastic infested beach.
The group will clean the beach on the 4th of June 2022 before the turtle nesting season to commemorate World Ocean Day and Environment Day.
Managing plastic waste in Ghana has been a major problem for successive governments as it has a dire effect on the environmental and health needs of its citizens.
