Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Marine and coastal health are critical to the environment and well-being of communities that depend on these ecosystems. This study describes a community service initiative conducted by Mahsa University, Malaysia, and Universitas Warmadewa, Indonesia, aimed at cleaning up Klabang Beach in Malacca. The activity involved over 300 participants from various backgrounds and included education on the impacts of marine pollution. In addition to the cleanup, the event also hosted workshops to raise community awareness on the importance of sustainable practices, such as recycling and waste reduction. Survey results showed an increase in community knowledge about marine pollution from 40% to 80%. The mangrove planting activity also succeeded in planting 1,000 seedlings with a survival rate of 85%. Through this collaboration, participants not only contributed to environmental cleanliness but also strengthened relationships between communities. This initiative is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 14 on life below water, and supports the blue economy through sustainable practices that improve the quality of life for coastal communities.
