Sharjah, October 02: A beach clean-up campaign, titled ‘Because We Care’, will be carried out in Sharjah on October 3 in an effort to protect aquatic habitat.
The event is being organised by Sharjah Aquarium and Sharjah Maritime Museum as part of their commitment to the preservation of environment, according to a Press release issued by the Sharjah Museum Department.
Khawla Almuhrizi, curator of Sharjah Maritime Museum, said, “The marine environment is very fragile and needs timely attention as several species are being endangered because of littering.”
