Mbezi Beach Earth Day Cleanup Event
The Environmental Conservation Community of Tanzania (ECCT), in collaboration with the Africa Human Rights Network Foundation (AHRN), is organizing a beach cleanup event to commemorate Earth Day on April 20, 2024, at Mbezi Beach area, Dar es Salaam.
Mbezi Beach is a vital coastal area located in the Kinondoni Municipality of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It holds significant ecological value, serving as a recreational spot for locals, fishing activities, and tourists alike. However, this pristine environment is threatened by plastic pollution and marine litter, which pose serious environmental and health hazards. Community engagement and collaboration are crucial in addressing these challenges, especially littering through the seasonal river that enters the ocean from the uplands of the Mbezi Beach neighborhood, which deteriorates the natural beauty of the Mbezi Beach stretch.
