Over 513 kilogrammes kilogrammes of garbage was removed from the Sungai Liang Recreational Beach during a clean-up campaign organised by Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd on Friday. 

The campaign, held to mark International Coastal Cleanup Day, collected 65 bags worth of trash weighing in total 513.8 kilogrammes from the beach. The campaign was organised by Brunei LNG employees under the BLNGolden Hearts and Brunei LNG Eco Eagles groups in collaboration with Green Brunei.

The Head of Kampong Sungai Liang Mohammad Haszrin bin Bagol was the guest of honour. Also participating were residents from the Mukim Liang Lumut community, along with Politeknik Brunei Lumut and Tutong Sixth Form Centre students.

The collected trash included empty bottles, plastic bags, and various other types of debris detrimental to marine ecosystems.

The International Coastal Cleanup has historically led to the removal of millions of pounds of marine debris worldwide, and by participating, Brunei LNG supports these ongoing efforts to protect marine wildlife and habitats.
