Lunawa Lagoon- Canal 4
Location
Lunawa Lagoon- Canal 4
The Lunawa Lagoon is the only lagoon in Colombo District, which is a vital and fragile ecosystem that faces increasing threats from plastic pollution, especially in the form of macro plastics. In partnership with Interact Club, we were able to install an Ocean Strainer at one of the four main canals that connect to the Lunawa Lagoon. The intervention made in collecting waste from the location in the first time periodically. Further, we were able to identify a potential plastic waste collector who will be collecting PET bottles from the Ocean Strainer. The total mixed waste collected from the Ocean Strainer at the end of 2024 was recorded as 27,390 kgs.
