We were asked to participate in the clean up of Rinella Bay by Senglea Primary School. They provided 40 students and 40 parents and teachers who clean the beach area and helped categorize the debris collected from within the water. The survey figures only include debris from the water. Our thanks go to all from Senglea Primary school for their invitation to participate in the clean up and the education of their students.
