Beach Cleanups

The Problem:
Every year from May to October, the southwesterly monsoon brings an overwhelming amount of waste to Phuket’s west coast beaches. If this waste is not collected, it will be washed back into the ocean to kill or injure marine life.

How We Address This Problem

Sustainable Maikhao Foundation organizes regular beach cleanups with local groups, schools, universities, businesses, hotels, the national park and government officials to remove marine debris from the beach and nearby beach forest.
 
We carefully separate the collected rubbish into 10-16 categories and recycle as much as possible to prevent the majority from ending up in the landfill. We also join cleanups with other organizations and assist in collecting, separating and managing the waste collected from nearby islands.

Goals and Impact

Sustainable Maikhao Foundation removes and manages as much waste as possible from our beaches with the involvement of everyone in the community to encourage shared responsibility for the health of our ecosystem.
 
Since we began in June 2020, Sustainable Maikhao Foundation has removed 22 tons of rubbish from 183.8 kilometers of beach with the assistance of 6,773 volunteers (data as of 24 April 2024). Our goal is to get to 50 tons by 2030.
