The Dangjin Environmental Movement Alliance in Chungnam carried out its 4th beach cleanup activity with citizens at the Seokmun Embankment on the 19th.

This beach cleanup activity, held for the fourth time this year, started at the Dangjin Culture and Arts Center and took place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Seokmun Embankment, with enthusiastic participation from 37 students and citizens.

The students and citizens who participated in the cleanup collected abandoned styrofoam buoys, discarded fishing nets, waste ropes, PET bottles, fishing rods, plastic bags, and other trash stuck between the rocks on the seaside of the Seokmun Embankment, contributing to creating a cleaner ocean.

Cho Heedoo, a resident of Dangjin 1-dong, said, "When you stand on the embankment, you can't really see the trash, but when I looked between the rocks, I was surprised to find so much garbage stuck there. Through today's cleanup activity, I felt proud to help remove the trash between the rocks and contribute to saving the ocean."

Meanwhile, the Dangjin Environmental Movement Alliance, including this event, has organized a total of four beach cleanup activities with citizens under the theme 'A Safe and Clean Ocean, Together with Citizens' from May to October this year.
