Community Beach Cleaning
The community beach cleaning project forms a core part of the conservation work of FOSTER and it is being carried out every year with funds from sponsorship and conservation levy collected by Walai Penyu Conservation Park. A clean beach will promote better hygiene for the villagers and allows the sea turtle to land for nesting unobstructed.
Beach cleaners from Libaran are contracted for a year to clean a section of the beach daily. Each section is 100 meter in length and a villager can opt to take up several lots for daily cleaning. The cleaners will also be provided cleaning equipment such as wheel barrows and metal rakes. It is our belief that if you want someone to do a job well, you have to equip them with the skill and equipment.
A sponsor will have their logo displayed on the section of the beach they are sponsoring and will be given quarterly progress report. Do contact us if you want to be involved in this successful activity.
