Coastal Waste Collection Operation on the Shoreline of the Koé Tribe

Bottles from China, Australia, Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji… all found on the same shoreline in New Caledonia.

Marine waste knows no borders! It is precisely this realization that brought together members of the Hô-üt association and the residents of the Koé tribe for a major coastal clean-up operation. The result: 34 garbage bags collected, the vast majority of which was plastic. This first action of the Kiwa RESMANC project marks the beginning of a long-term effort to restore mangroves and protect the coastlines of New Caledonia.
