Save Marine Life

Save Marine Life

Step into the journey of a unique project. Here, I unravel the threads of my thought process and exciting steps taken from inception to execution.

Introduction

Introduction

Coastal communities struggle with plastic waste, particularly from tourism, which contributes significantly to ocean pollution and threatens marine life. My current research focuses on addressing tourism waste, a major issue in India, where improper disposal and lack of awareness harm ecosystems and affect the appeal of tourist destinations. Sustainable tourism requires effective waste management and traveler education.

Challenges

Challenges

The project faces several challenges, including sustaining long-term engagement from both volunteers and businesses. Effective coordination among various stakeholders—such as volunteers, NGOs, businesses, and governments—is essential to align efforts. A major hurdle is overcoming gaps in awareness and motivation, as many users remain disengaged from the issue. Additionally, safety concerns, particularly health risks in handling waste, must be addressed. Organizing large-scale clean-up events requires careful management to ensure they are both effective and scalable. Lastly, tracking the impact of these efforts accurately is crucial for assessing progress and ensuring reliable data collection.

Solution

Solution

The problem being addressed is the need for streamlined and coordinated efforts to manage plastic waste in coastal areas. The app provides several key features to tackle this issue. It enables efficient organization and participation in beach clean-up events, helping communities come together for a common cause. The app also raises awareness about marine pollution, encouraging more people to take action. Additionally, it tracks and visualizes the positive impact, such as the amount of waste collected, providing users with tangible results of their efforts. By fostering collaboration among volunteers, NGOs, businesses, and local governments, the app promotes a unified approach to tackling plastic waste in coastal regions.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Coastal communities are struggling to manage plastic waste, leading to pollution that harms marine life and reduces the appeal of tourist destinations. Through research involving interviews, I found that improper waste disposal, inadequate management systems, and a lack of awareness among tourists are key factors contributing to this issue. To address these challenges, I recommend implementing better waste disposal infrastructure, encouraging responsible tourism, promoting reusable alternatives to single-use plastics, and raising awareness through educational campaigns. These steps can help create cleaner coastal environments, enhance tourist appeal, and foster a more sustainable relationship between tourism and nature.
