The Nasinu Town Council in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched the Trash Boom Pilot Project last Friday.
The project aims to tackle waste pollution which is detrimentally affecting our waterways and environment.
Nasinu Town Council special administrators chairman Felix Magnus said the program was a pro-active approach to protect marine life and fosters a culture of responsibility in waste management efforts among members of various communities within the township.
“We took a proactive step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for our community,” Mr Magnus said.
“By introducing trash booms at strategic locations, we will significantly reduce the flow of plastics and other debris into our oceans and rivers, thereby protecting marine life and preserving our natural ecosystems.
“Through collective action, we can ensure the success of the Trash Boom Pilot Project and move towards a cleaner, more sustainable environment for all.”
