(Bitanga, 2021) Restoration Method Beach Cleanups Add more recycle and trash bins on beaches. Monthly volunteered beach cleanups. Not only do beach cleanups but cleanups at roadways that are near beaches. Educate people on the land and how we can keep it clean and protected. What is the issue What is going on? Manini’s are being found dead on the shorelines of Hawai’i. After concise research, we have found that the death of these Manini is due to plastic that has been ingested! (Hawaii Northshore Fishing, 2015). (Bitanga, 2021) Species Found Dead on Beach Due to Plastic How can we put a halt to this issue?
(Bitanga, 2021) Why would it work? According to (Beach.com, 2019). It is being stated that “beach cleanups are a worthy cause to bring people together to focus on the environment and learn ways to protect it.” Educate people to keep our places clean. Protect local marine life along shorelines. Time frame to complete the plan. To execute this plan, it would take about six to eight months. However, to actually make a huge difference; It would take about a little over a year. Two examples of how this worked in another situation. One situation in which a cleanup has helped to save marine life was in the situation which is a personal situation. At a school club ran beach cleanup, there was a bundle of fishnet that has washed up near the shoreline. As it was being pulled out, people noticed that there was a turtle stuck in the net. People then grabbed scissors and knifes and freed the turtle out of the net. Save the Sea Turtles International was called to come and check on the turtle’s well-being. Another situation in which a cleanup has helped to save marine life was in another personal situation with my friends. They went to a beach where drug activity is known to happen. And in the cleanup, some when into the water to search for trash in it. Then towards the end of the cleanup everyone has gathered together and collected a total of 50lbs of plastic and needles, plus 120lbs worth of fishing lines and nets. “Beach cleanup projects are like ripples in a pond. They aid in beach restoration. They prevent debris from flowing back into the ocean. They also protect marine life from getting killed due to debris.” (Ocean Blue Environmental (Bitanga, 2021)] End goal of restoration project. Create a cleaner, safer space for Papio’s to live in. Educate people about the importance of keeping our marine life safe and how pollution has big effects on our marine life and their biome! Do monthly beach cleanups for a year. Add more trash and recycling bins to people have a place to put their trash, instead of leaving it on the beaches. References: Beach.com. (2019, June 20).
