International Coastal Cleanup Day
ICC Day 2019 in Sabah
By UMS Borneo Marine Research Institute, Sutera Harbour Marina, University College Sabah Foundation, UiTM Kota Kinabalu, Reef Check Malaysia and also the local community
Every year in September, we coordinate the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day in Malaysia.
ICC is a global event that has been running for 35 years. Volunteers all around the world engage and encourage their communities to take action by removing trash from beaches or oceans, identifying the sources of the litter, and inspiring change in beating marine debris pollution.
ICC Day has become one of the main projects we run annually. It aligns with our goal of “No more beach clean-ups in 10 years”.
