illegal dumpsite at the east side portion of the beach, near the former Ship Ashore Restaurant in Garapan on Nov. 22.
A number of volunteers, including family members from the SFA gathered trash and other debris during the cleanup. The cleanup also yielded an illegal dumpsite that was recently discovered.
SFA Beautification Chairman Frank Tudela thanked the members for volunteering their time to come down and help with the cleanup, without their untiring assistance, the cleanup would have not been made possible.
After the cleanup, various members from the SFA were on hand for a photo shoot with their family members.
Tudela, whose spearheading the project, said the program intends to increase more participation in future cleanups.
The usual trash collected at beaches are aluminum cans, beer and soda, water bottles, ice tea bottles and some household items.
“The SFA is committed to preserving the environment, and this is one way in which we can protect our ocean. We chose the site, the Garapan Fishing Base Complex to clean up because it is located right next to the dock, where often times trash and debris are piled up,” SFA president Gene Weaver said.
