A successful Shoreline Cleanup and a marine conservation awareness session in collaboration with @UKinSriLanka

UK in Sri Lanka 🇬🇧🇱🇰@UKinSriLanka

This morning, @UKinSriLanka joined our friends @PearlProtectors for a Beach Clean-up. Combing through the coast, we collected over 80 kg of trash, and learned how deeply pollution affects lives, and does irreparable harm to Sri Lanka's rich marine biodiversity. 🌍 #SaveOurOceans

Joined the amazing team at @PearlProtectors for a beach clean-up today! Came across a discarded newspaper with my own picture on it— a good reminder to be humble - in the news one day and in the bin the next. We all need to do our part to keep the planet clean. #KeepSriLankaClean
