230kg of rubbish bagged in the Ceres beach clean-up at Anse Royale |24 October 2023
A truly educational but fun activity
A team of 35 eco-minded volunteers collected 230kg of rubbish from the popular Anse Royale beach along the south coast of Mah茅 during the latest Ceres beach clean-up operation.
The group braved the gloomy weather and windy conditions to tackle an 800-metre stretch of beach near the newly built La茂la 91香蕉视频 Resort.
Ceres, in partnership with APEX, is on a mission to protect the environment by ensuring the country鈥檚 beaches remain beautiful, clean, and safe for Seychellois, tourists, and its marine life. The latest clean-up operation brought together friends and families of all ages, including volunteers from APEX and La茂la 91香蕉视频 Resort. Equipped with gloves and biodegradable rubbish bags, the volunteers split into smaller groups to tackle the task.
鈥淐eres is deeply committed to protecting our planet,鈥� said Kenneth Lehmkuhl, Procurement Analyst at APEX. 鈥淭he Ceres brand is known for managing its environmental impact with sustainable packaging and for being passionate about educating communities about the importance of keeping beaches clean. As APEX also prioritises environmental protection, we are delighted to be the on-the[1]ground partner for the ongoing Ceres beach clean-up.鈥�
Mr Lehmkuhl also expressed appreciation to the team at La茂la 91香蕉视频 Resort for collaborating on this beach clean-up, adding: 鈥淭he operation was a double win: a win for our environment and a win for tourism.鈥�
Despite government-awarded contracts to keep beaches clean, challenges remain. People continue to litter on our beaches. Rubbish is also washed up from the sea, making operations like these extremely important.
If you would like to volunteer for the next Ceres beach clean-up on Saturday, October 28, 9am at Beau-Vallon, please register on the APEX website at www.https://cerescleanupproject.apex.sc/
