Description

In 1986, the Coastal Cleanup by the Center for Marine Conservation started in Texas, USA. In 1989, the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) has been organized with Canada and Mexico's participants, and Japan has taken part in it from 1990. The International Coastal Cleanup engages people to remove trash and debris from the world's beaches and waterways, to identify the sources of debris, and to change the behaviors that cause pollution. Four coordinators (captains) who initiated the event in Kagoshima in 1999 established Cleanup Kagoshima Office. From 1999 to 2004, the 10,418 volunteers removed the marine debris of 458,699 from Kagoshima coasts. In this report, the results of six years including last year are introduced.
