The Department of Sustainable Development invited CYEN to participate in a National Coastal Clean Up Plan- Validation Consultation, under an initiative to implement activities outlined in Saint Lucia’s Marine Litter Management Action Plan (ML-MAP), which focuses on the design and execution of clean up campaigns, to not only remove waste from the environment, but also to generate data on sources of leaked waste, and to encourage citizens, to take greater care of the community. Chris Sealys, longstanding CYEN member, delivered a presentation on the process of coordinating the annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) and using the CleanSwell App for data collection during the clean ups.
