However, the increasing number of tourists and food vendors on this beach causes a lot of plastic waste and food waste to pollute the beach areas. As a tourist destination, good waste management is a very important aspect, both from the aesthetic aspect and from the health aspect. Moreover, Lampu Satu Beach is also a densely populated residential area. As a result, Lampu Satu Beach, which should have been a comfortable place, has lost its charm due to the large amount of garbage.
Therefore, to reduce the amount of garbage that scattered around the beach, Sawfish Indonesia together with members of School of EcoDiplomacy (SED) EcoNusa and help from members of the Merauke Navy (LANTAMAL) worked hand-in-hand to organize a beach clean-up in Lampu Satu Beach area on Saturday (December 19, 2020).
