Volunteers clear plastic waste from Magawish island off Hurghada

Volunteers have cleared plastic waste and other pollutants from the beaches and the land and marine areas of Magawish island at Hurghada. The clean-up was run by the Red Sea reserves together with Red Sea Rotary clubs and young people from the Health Ambassadors initiative.

The Red Sea reserves said plastic waste is a direct threat to coral reefs and marine creatures, and that events of this kind are also meant to spread environmental awareness, particularly among young people.
