The International Coastal Cleanup Singapore (ICCS) is an annual event coordinated by Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research at the National University of Singapore from 2001. The aim of this event is to remove and collect data on the debris from the shorelines, waterways and beaches and coastal regions in Singapore. The extent and scope of the ICCS has also grown over the years, starting from the beaches of East Coast Park, Pasir Ris Park and Changi Beach, to pioneering mangrove cleanups in Mandai, Lim Chu Kang, Chek Jawa, making ICCS as one of Singapore’s largest environmental conservation programmes. This information serves to educate the public on marine debris issues and to encourage positive change by submissions to governmental and international organisations that will reduce debris in waterways and enhance aquatic environments.
Earthlink NTU has been taking part in the ICCS ever since 2006. During the last two years, volunteers from NTU would gather and join this worldwide battle against marine trash. This year we will be going to Kallang Basin and other groups/organisations involved include German European School Singapor, Compassvale Secondary School Ministry of Environment and Water Resource, British Petroleum, and Waterways Watch Society.

Good event! One way to encourage environment conciousness to the public.
When I see peoples littering public places especially the Forest I feel so sad.
I went to the Tanjung Piai, Pontian, Malaysia and found out irreponsible peoples littering the beautiful Mangrove Forest.
It was a beautiful Mangrove Forest, but felt disheartening when peoples littering the Forest indiscriminately.
Also it might be because the litter came from the nearby coastal areas where environment conciousness is still very low.
The picture of Turtle with plastic bag in its mouths touch my heart. A feeling of sadness of how human can bring misery to the wildlife. Wonderful Wildlifes and animals that have been created by God to enable us to enjoy the beautiful natures of the world.
