Clean Coast

Leo Club of University of Moratuwa successfully conducted Project “Clean Coast” on 12 March 2026, making a meaningful contribution to environmental conservation and community service. The project focused on strengthening long-term coastal preservation by supporting local communities and conservation efforts with sustainable beach-cleaning resources.

As part of the initiative, eco-friendly manual sand-sifting beach cleaning tools were donated to the Turtle Conservation Project, Panadura and the Coastal Conservation Department Area Office, Moratuwa. These specialized tools are designed to remove plastic waste, micro-debris and other pollutants from coastal areas without harming marine ecosystems or disturbing the natural environment.

By introducing sustainable and non-motorized cleaning equipment, “Clean Coast” promotes regular beach conservation practices while supporting the protection of marine biodiversity and the natural beauty of Sri Lanka’s coastline. Through the collective efforts of Leos, university students and conservation officials, the project highlighted the power of collaboration in creating a cleaner and more sustainable future.
