The International Coastal Clean-Up Day is organised every year on the third Saturday in September. Though the global event just passed over the weekend, there are still some events planned for this weekend in Selangor, which you can volunteer at. We discuss the impact of marine debris on the environment, and how these small cleanups can have a big impact in reducing pollution in our oceans.
