Navy volunteers to clean beaches to make pollution-free coastal belt

The Navy, as part of its wide array of conservation programmes, conducted another beach cleaning drive at several beaches located in the southern part of the country on 17^th August 2019.

This programme was organised by the Southern Naval Command to clean-up Rumassala beach in Galle, the beach of Tangalle and the beach of Hambantota. These beaches which had been polluted due to a number of reasons were restored to their previous status due to Navy’s timely efforts.

Since, having pollution-free beaches in the country is a collective responsibility of the general public, the Sri Lanka Navy takes much interest in maintaining a beautiful coastal belt around the island at all times. As such, the Navy would be able to conserve the beach as well as it’s dynamic environment for the future generation.
