SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT | WATAMU SNAKE FARM

Did you know that we cannot live without snakes?

Snakes play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. They help regulate other animal populations and contribute to the balance of nature.

At Watamu Snake FarmFarm, conservation is driven by education, research and community awareness. Their work helps people understand snakes, promotes safe coexistence with reptiles, supports snake rescue and relocation, and contributes to snakebite prevention and research. 💚

We are proud to have Watamu Snake Farm supporting International Coastal Cleanup 2026.

Their partnership reminds us that protecting our environment means caring for every part of the ecosystem, from our forests and wildlife to our beaches and ocean.

Thank you, Watamu Snake Farm, for standing with us for a cleaner, healthier Watamu. 🌊♻️

SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT | DUNE PACKAGING & TIGER PACKAGING

What happens when businesses in the packaging industry make environmental responsibility part of how they operate? 🌱

We are proud to have Dune Packaging and Tiger Packaging supporting International Coastal Cleanup 2026.

As sister companies, both are committed to reducing their environmental footprint. Dune Packaging places the 3Rs, Renew, Recycle and Reduce, at the heart of its environmental approach, while Tiger Packaging produces recyclable woven polypropylene packaging.

Their support for this year's cleanup is another way of putting that commitment into action, helping us bring people together to care for the coastline we all share.

SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT | TURTLE BAY BEACH CLUB 💚

For Turtle Bay Beach Club, caring for Watamu’s environment is part of being part of this community.

Their commitment to sustainability goes beyond the guest experience. Through initiatives focused on waste separation and composting, reducing plastic use, water conservation and recycling, energy efficiency and beach cleanups, Turtle Bay continues to work towards reducing its environmental footprint.

Their environmental work also extends into the wider community through support for marine conservation, turtle protection and local environmental initiatives.

This year, we are proud to have Turtle Bay Beach Club supporting International Coastal Cleanup 2026 and standing with us as we bring communities together across 11 beaches in the Watamu Marine Protected Area.

Because protecting the ocean requires more than one organization. It requires all of us.

Thank you, Turtle Bay Beach Club, for being part of the movement. 🌊♻️

For the past 15 years, we have been cleaning beaches in Watamu.

And honestly, the journey has not always been a straight line.

But we would not change it for anything.

We have watched volunteers become part of the EcoWorld team. Some of our original Blue Team members who first joined us as volunteers are now machine operators and supervisors at our Material Recovery Facility.

We have seen community groups come for a cleanup and leave with a new opportunity. Through our buyback scheme, collected plastic can become a source of income and livelihood.

And today, our beaches are visibly cleaner.

But perhaps what means the most is the community action behind it all.

That desire to protect the ocean in the town we all call home.

This year, that action is growing bigger.

On 19 September, volunteers will form 11 teams across the Watamu Marine Protected Area, cleaning almost 15 km of coastline in one day.

They could be doing a hundred other things that day.

But they choose to be here.

And we are incredibly grateful to the sponsors and partners who believe in this movement and are helping make sure these volunteers have the tools and support they need.

15 years later, we are still showing up.

Not because one cleanup will solve plastic pollution.

But because every cleanup matters. Every volunteer matters. Every piece of waste recovered matters.

And together, they become something much bigger.

WHY DO WE STILL DO BEACH CLEANUPS? ♻️
‎
‎Let’s be honest.
‎
‎Beach cleanups are not the ultimate solution to plastic pollution.
‎
‎We cannot keep cleaning the same beaches forever and call that progress.
‎
‎So why do we still do them?
‎
‎Because there is already waste out there.
‎
‎Plastic has already made its way into our beaches, mangroves, waterways and ocean. We have a responsibility to do something about what is already there while also working to stop more waste from getting there.
‎
‎That means we need to approach plastic pollution from every angle available to us.
‎
‎📚 Education
‎📢 Advocacy
‎📜 Policy
‎♻️ Recycling
‎🔄 Circular economy solutions
‎🌊 Beach cleanups
‎
‎A beach cleanup gives us an opportunity to do several things at once.
‎
‎We educate people about what they are finding.
‎
‎We recover materials that can still be used or recycled.
‎
‎We remove waste that should not be in our marine environment.
‎
‎We collect information that helps us understand the problem.
‎
‎And perhaps most importantly, we create conversations about where this waste came from and how we can stop it from getting there in the first place.
‎
‎Because plastic pollution cannot be solved from one angle.
‎
‎We need to prevent it.
‎We need to recover what we can.
‎We need to recycle.
‎We need better systems.
‎We need stronger policies.
‎And we need to deal with the waste that is already in our environment.
‎
‎So yes, we will keep cleaning our beaches.
‎
‎But we will also keep working towards the day when there is less waste to clean up in the first place. 💚
