Sponsored by the Swakopmund- based Ministerial organisation NACOMA (Namibian Coast Conservation and Management Project), the clean up day was just one part of the year long Coastodian program that selected Namibian schools have been taking part in. Along with Diaz Primary School, Lüderitz Secondary School, Kamwandi Primary School (Henties Bay), Tamariskia Primary School & Westside High (Swakopmund), Narraville Primary School, Fla- 5 mingo Primary School and Duneside High School (Walvis Bay) have also been learning about the different flora and fauna native to Namibia’s coastline and how to protect and maintain this unique environment (similarly to the SKEP project that ran earlier this year- issue # 221).

On the 5th June, incidentally also World Environment Day, Diaz Schools Grade 6 learners gathered along the road to Agate beach armed with bin bags and enthusiasm to collect paper, plastic, glass and metal which was later picked up by the Town Council.

Congratulations to all learners for collecting almost twice the amount of litter that they picked up in the previous year.
