Nai Yang Beach, Phuket, Thailand
On September 25th, 2010 we organized a beach cleanup in partnership with Indigo Pearl Resort for the Ocean Conservancy's 25th Annual International Coastal Cleanup (http://www.oceanconservancy.org/). Close to 300 people joined us for this event, including staff from Indigo Pearl, Adamas Resort and Spa, DEWA, Nai Yang Beach Resort, Home & Life Orphanage, local residents, the local government, the Professor of Aquaculture and Aquatic Resource Management from the Asian Institute of Technology, and our students from Wat Mongkol School.
For this worldwide event, our cleanup participants filled out data cards to record the number and type of trash collected to be sent to the Ocean Conservancy to compile a worldwide report of marine debris. Over 105 trash bags weighing a total of 1250 kg were filled. The day was also marked by a small display created by our students at Wat Mongkol showing artwork made from marine trash showing how 'nurdles' (preproduction plastic pellets) end up in our oceans and beaches and the negative effects these small plastic pellets have on marine life.

Cleaned up 5k (3 miles) of beach with the help of over 350 students and community members and provided 50 garbage and recycle bins to be placed along Thai Muang Beach with pictures and environmental messages designed by students from local schools. Our students and guests from Wonpanit Recycling, Department of Fisheries, and the local government helped us bring awareness to the community about the importance of protecting the biodiversity along Thai Muang Beach, the effects litter has on the environment, and the importance of recycling.
