Chennai Coastal Cleanup 7 - Community Engagements in Beach Zones
Various awareness initiatives have been initiated in various areas of Chennai Trekking Club's Seventh Edition of Chennai Coastal Cleanup. Out of those initiatives, Community Engagement in Beach Zone is one of the important. The main motto of this initiative is to involve the local residents/Fishermen village people to participate in cleanup activities and creating awareness on Source Segregation and Waste Management.
