Plastics Free Cod-bay Harbour

Third Cleanup Program Marks Another Step Toward a Cleaner Coastline

Cod Bay Harbour

23 May 2025

Oceanpick proudly completed the third phase of the Plastic-Free Cod-bay Harbour initiative today, reinforcing our commitment to marine conservation and community health. This comprehensive cleanup effort targeted both land and sea areas around Cod-bay, with a special focus on plastic waste removal, grass cutting, and eliminating potential dengue breeding sites.

The operation was carried out in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Navy and the Cod-bay Fisheries Harbour Corporation, whose continued support has been instrumental in scaling the impact of this campaign. Together, we are transforming Cod-bay into a model harbor for environmental stewardship and public safety.

Highlights from the Third Cleanup

Full-scale plastic collection across harbor and shoreline
Grass cutting to improve visibility and reduce mosquito habitats
Targeted removal of stagnant water and waste to eliminate dengue risk points
Strong partnership with the Navy and Fisheries Corporation for operational support

This initiative is more than a cleanup—it’s a movement. Oceanpick remains committed to making Cod-bay Harbour the first plastic-free harbor in Sri Lanka, setting a new benchmark for sustainability, marine protection, and coastal resilience.
