BEACH CLEAN UP ON TAKWA BEACH,NOVEMBER 2008
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Dec 10 2008 | By: lamumarine
The environmental club of Shella primary school, an adviser from PUM project, Fer von der Assen from Holland & three administrative staff from Lamu Marine Trust did a fantastic job by collecting almost half a tone of marine litters along takwa beach; our main nesting site.
The debris was mainly rubber sandals (flip flops) and plastics from as far as Indonesia, Australia, Somalia, Madagascar and other countries within the Indian Ocean are deposited on these pristine turtle nesting beaches. The flip flops rubbish was taken to Kiunga Marine National Reserve (KMNR), is located in Kiunga division of Lamu district at the Kenyan coast. They do the conservation and recycling effort with world wide fund for nature (WWF).
May be this ………………………………… can become this…….

It is all about interest ! I am Atwaa Salim back home, having finished my bachelors degree from the university of Nairobi. I am now the co-ordinator of Lamu Marine Conservation Trust. Having volunteered for two years, I found the conservation of the natural resourse inclusive of turtles as very important. We are a group of ten people. We have got 4 guards a captain and a crew, with 3 office bearers. We are all from local communities around Lamu.
