CO-OP
The ‘CO-OP’ initiative aims to encourage people from all walks of life to get involved and learn about the issue of marine litter, with a vision that everyone can enjoy the coast after the litter has been cleared. We hope that everyone can appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature on a coastline free from marine litter.

About CO-OP
Environment and Conservation Fund
Funded by the Environment and Conservation Fund and organised by the Sea Education Association, this two-year programme consists of two phases. Through ambassador training, school and community beach clean-ups, we educate people of different ages and backgrounds on local marine ecology and coastal habitats, while directly engaging them in marine conservation efforts.
The "Community Ocean Litter Obliteration and Education Programme" aims to involve various communities in understanding the predicament of ocean waste, with the hopes of preserving litter-free beaches for everyone. It is our vision to restore coastlines to their natural, pristine state for all to appreciate.
10 school beach clean-up events and 20 community beach clean-up events were held over the two-year programme. Public ambassadors were trained to become leaders in coastal cleanup activities. Together with 591 participants, more than a tonne of coastal waste was cleaned up.
