Ras Al Khaimah Continues The Crusade To Keep The Emirate’s Beaches Clean

The issue of ‘one use’ plastics and their hazardous effects on the environment, especially on our oceans and marine life, is attracting much attention globally.

In the UAE, the sustainability movement is gathering some much-needed momentum, with residents becoming increasingly conscious of how their actions and the products they use impact their environment locally and globally.

The last beach clean-up at Al Margan was a huge success with over 300 volunteers from all over the UAE collecting 1320 kgs of waste in one hour. Spirits were high amongst the volunteers with various notable groups present such as Sea Sheperd Middle East, Van Oord, RAK Ceramics, RAK Medical Health Sciences University, Hilton Hotel Group and RAK Hospital.
