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.
