A coastal clean-up operation and tree sapling planting event was held this morning at Mannar Keeri beach ahead of of World Environment Day.
The clear up was organised by Mannar Karitras Wildlife to mark World Environment Day which falls on June 5 and to raise awareness of pressing environmental issues.
Environmental activists, economic development officers and locals participated in the beach clean up.
This year, the "Only One Earth" campaign for World Environment Day is calling for collective environmental action and encouraging everyone to live sustainably.
