The livelihood of the fishing community depends on the sea. Yet, knowingly or unknowingly, people throw plastic bags, bottles, and other garbage into the water. This waste not only gets caught in fishing nets along with fish, affecting fish production, but also pollutes the coastline. At such times, the question arises—do we truly consider the sea our own? Just as we maintain cleanliness in our homes, we must also keep the sea clean. The campaign aims to awaken this sense of responsibility among citizens.
