In our continued commitment to environmental conservation and corporate social responsibility, we recently collaborated with the Aquatic Club of the University of Kelaniya and the dedicated team at Clean Ocean Force for a large-scale beach cleanup initiative at Crow Island Beach, Mattakkuliya.

 

A Powerful Partnership for the Planet

The event was spearheaded by Clean Ocean Force (COF) — a grassroots organization at the forefront of marine conservation in Sri Lanka. Led by their passionate youth leaders, the program at Crow Island Beach became the 7th consecutive mega cleanup within a 12-day span — a testament to their relentless effort in protecting the island’s vulnerable ecosystems.

Mabroc Teas was honored to partner in this endeavor, standing alongside the Aquatic Club of the University of Kelaniya, a student-led initiative that continues to promote environmental awareness and action through hands-on conservation projects.

This collaboration symbolized more than just corporate involvement — it marked a shared vision between the private sector, academic institutions, youth movements, and environmental authorities.

 

A Powerful Partnership for the Planet

With outstanding teamwork and commitment, volunteers successfully collected and With Real Impact, Real Change outstanding teamwork and commitment, volunteers successfully collected and removed 492.3 kg of marine debris (wet weight) from the shores of Crow Island Beach. From plastic bottles and fishing gear to storm debris and other harmful waste, every item removed was a step towards restoring the health of our ocean and protecting marine life.

This cleanup not only prevented pollutants from entering the ocean but also highlighted the importance of consistent community engagement, especially among youth, in long-term environmental protection.

 

 

The initiative was carried out in the presence and support of key public authorities including:

  • Marine Environment Protection Authority – Sri Lanka

Their presence emphasized the national importance of marine conservation and the need for cross-sector collaboration to achieve sustainable results.
