Seas the Day: SEGians Tackles Marine Pollution in Major Coastal Cleanup Effort

On 21 September 2024, SEGi University’s Bachelor of Optometry students organised a meaningful coastal clean-up event, titled Seas the Day!, at Pantai Tanjung Harapan, Klang. The initiative, part of the International Coastal Cleanup 2024 by Reef Check, was a huge success, reflecting SEGi’s commitment to environmental sustainability. This effort supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 (Climate Action) and 14 (Life Below Water), contributing to healthier oceans and coastlines.

Partnering with Jeans Beach Vibes, students collected 70.7 kilograms of waste, making a significant contribution to improving the local environment. Through their hard work, participants were reminded of the vital role clean beaches play in maintaining marine ecosystems. Jean, the founder of Jeans Beach Vibes, expressed her gratitude, saying, “The students’ dedication today not only helped restore our beach but will hopefully inspire more sustainable choices in their daily lives.”
