Dear NUS friends,
The annual International Coastal Cleanup Singapore (ICCS) is here again!
ICCS 2011 marks 20 years of battling marine trash in Singapore!
The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is an annual event conducted in 70-100 countries and coordinated by the US-based agency, The Ocean Conservancy, which is a non-profit organisation.
The programme aims to remove and collect data on the debris from the shorelines, waterways and beaches of the world's lakes, rivers and oceans. This information serves to educate the public on marine debris issues and to encourage positive change by submissions to governmental and international organisations that will reduce debris in waterways and enhance aquatic environments.
So, interested in doing your part for the environment? Sign up for ICCS 2011 by 13 September 2011 (Tuesday)
It will be on a first-come-first-served basis so do sign up fast!! :)
