The project focuses on promoting multi-stakeholder engagement and improving waste management practices in the target community of Baan Koh Mook, Thailand听with a particular emphasis on听recyclable material and single-use plastic collection. Through the Mirpuri Foundation Ocean Award, the Foundation aims to further support its implementation.

鈥淲e are thrilled to partner with 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 on this vital initiative,鈥 said Dr Paulo Mirpuri, President of the Mirpuri Foundation. 鈥淭his project exemplifies the potential for innovative solutions that combine marine conservation with circular economy principles. By supporting such efforts, we can work towards a healthier ocean and a more sustainable future.鈥

The project will continue strengthening community co-management of natural resources for sustainable tourism, small-scale fisheries, and waste management through the capacity development of conservation groups and the implementation of agreements with relevant authorities.

The initiative expects to significantly improve Koh Mook鈥檚 waste management system, particularly regarding single-use plastic and recyclable material collection. Stakeholder meetings have already been conducted to discuss waste management strategies and introduce the project funding through the Ocean Award. Additionally, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 supports the Ban Koh Mook Community Tourism Enterprise with equipment for compressing recyclable materials for processing and training lessons on user instruction and maintenance.

Single use plastic collection will be improved by operating a compressing machine purchased thanks to the Award, which will significantly increase local recycling rates,鈥 said Jake Brunner, Head of the Lower Mekong Subregion, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播.

The Mirpuri Foundation has been a longstanding supporter of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 work, partnering with the organisation since 2018.
