On September 17, 2022, the Pacific Ocean Litter Youth Project and Suva Harbour Foundation hosted a beach clean-up campaign as part of the International Coastal Cleanup Day 2022 supported by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) through the AFD-funded SWAP project.
Thanks to the 105 volunteers who gave a hand, a total of 651 kilograms of rubbish was collected along 4 zones:
- Zone 1: USP Marine Campus
- Zone 2: Apted Park, Suva Point
- Zone 3: USP Marine Campus Foreshore
- Zone 4: Fiji National University Maritime Center Foreshore.
The team also carried out awareness-raising activities, including creating artworks with the collected waste.
