World Ocean Day: Shore Cleanup
Alain Michel Hatchery
12 Jun 2025Oceanpick marked World Ocean Day with a shore cleanup near the Alain Michel Hatchery premises, an area that naturally connects to the health of marine life and future fisheries. The purpose is clear, hatchery-adjacent shorelines should be kept free of plastics, lines, and debris that can harm juvenile organisms, contaminate water, and degrade nearby habitats. The cleanup also reinforced the message that ocean stewardship isn’t only about big campaigns, it’s about showing up consistently in sensitive areas, keeping them clean, and building pride around protecting the places that support life beneath the surface.
