The NSBP group explained that the beach cleanup exercise of Lafiaji Beach was apt to address biodiversity loss of ecosystem while sensitising locals on the need to improve the environmental health practices of marine life.

The group also sought the need to promote environmental health sustainability to reduce footprints of plastic waste pollution in the shorelines and beaches, noting that, the activities of dumping plastic waste into beaches and oceans cause more harmful practices to the blue ocean economy.

The beach clean-up exercise is coming to commemorate World Ocean Day and World Environment Day and to celebrate the group’s 10th anniversary.NYSC Portal
