The St. Maarten Yacht Club Regatta Foundation (SMYCRF) concluded its eighth annual beach cleanup at Kim Sha Beach in winter 2024 with over 65 local children, volunteers, and community members in a collective effort to clean up and preserve one of the island’s most beloved beaches.
The event started with a presentation from the Nature Foundation, focusing on the critical issues of plastic pollution and shark awareness. Armed with gloves and trash bags, participants competed in teams to collect the most trash. This year, the clean-up efforts resulted in collecting over 1,224 pounds of garbage.
