5 Jul (Sat): Workshop for International Coastal Cleanup 2008

for Nature Society (Singapore) members only.

Singapore’s Coastal Cleanup is part of the world's largest volunteer effort for the marine environment. In 2007, NSS contributed a 70-strong contingent to help cleanup the Chek Jawa Wetlands. Islandwide, more than 3,000 volunteers collected and categorised from Singapore’s beaches some 110,000 items of marine debris weighing almost 10 tonnes. This year, the Cleanup falls on 20 September 2008. NSS will again be leading a contingent of members, collaborating organisations, corporate sponsors and friends of nature at the Cleanup. Volunteers need to attend this workshop for organisers and team leaders, which will be held in NUS. Please register early with Dr Hsu Chia Chi at hsu_chia_chi@hotmail.com and he will provide details.
