Doha: The
Ministry of Municipality, represented by the Public Cleanliness Department, has
invited members of the public to participate in a series of beach and island
clean-up campaigns as part of its 2026 community initiatives aimed at promoting
environmental sustainability and civic engagement.
The
initiative supports the Sustainable Development Goals and aligns with the
environmental pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030. According to the campaign
schedule, volunteer activities will take place at Ras Al Nouf (June 6),
Simaisma Beach (June 13), Al Kharayej Beach (June 20), and Al Wakrah Family
Beach (June 27).
The
ministry emphasised that marine debris, particularly plastic waste, poses
significant risks to wildlife and coastal habitats. By removing waste from
beaches and shorelines, volunteers can play a direct role in safeguarding
marine species and preserving biodiversity. Officials noted that
community-based environmental initiatives help strengthen public awareness
about responsible waste disposal and reducing pollution at its source.
The ministry encouraged individuals, families, schools, and community organisations to participate, highlighting that collective action remains essential to preserving Qatar's natural heritage and ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations.
