Namami Tate Is a campaign brought to you by the Ministry of Earth Sciences in collaboration with the Government of India. This campaign is part of the Government of India’s 75 week celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mohotsav. Through Namami Tate, we are targeting cleaning of some of the dirtiest beaches of India with the help of the Government as well as fellow citizens. Beaches play a fundamental role in maintaining the health of the oceans and also provide habitat to a number of marine species.

However, last year, a group of researchers from ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) found that the north-east Arabian Sea, just off Mumbai, contained an estimated 379 MT of marine debris of which plastics contributed to 40.6% of the total by weight. A major portion of this debris washes up on the beaches creating health, environmental, economic as well as social hazards. The fast-paced growth of the tourism sector combined with the lack of awareness on the part of citizens about the damaging impact of pollution is one of the leading causes of the abysmal condition of our beaches. The Namami Tate campaign aims to clean these beaches and protect our precious marine biodiversity.

The Ministry of Earth Sciences invites suggestions from the citizens of India about the innovative ways in which we can conduct this beach cleaning activity. We value your suggestions which would be instrumental in implementing this campaign.

The best entries from the citizens will be identified by the Ministry and will be featured on the MyGov page.

The last date to receive suggestions is 15th August 2022.

Prevention is better than cure. Why cleaning is required, we have put all plastic and other debris on the beaches then cleaning. A strict rule to be imposed on reduction of plastics and penalty to be imposed those who are doing so. All shop keepers to be advised to sell plastic free products. All packed foods are to be altered into a non polluting packs. All the items like biscuit, chips, cooldrinks, tea cup and so are made of some kind plastics only. Are they recycled 100% ? No then where it will deposit. In the water bodies and land only. Then what is the rout cause, packed foods. The packed foods to be avoided or alter the packaging to a environment friendly materials.

name rajeinder kaur . 2pb naval unit asr. khalsa college .Take care of your trash Always double check your packaging and the bin you are disposing it in to make sure you found the right match If you do decide to bring food to the beach, make sure it’s for you, and only you! Don’t disrupt the diets of the animals, such as birds or fishes, that are sharing the shore and sea with you. Get political! Call or write your local congressman (or woman!) about important issues facing your ocean community. Be the voice for the marine life that can’t speak up for themselves. Buy organic sunscreens, or look with a sun protectant with safe ingredients. Keep your skin safe from harm, while also decreasing potential threat to the ocean When you’re planning on taking your trip off-land, be sure to travel the waters responsibly. Research eco-friendly cruise lines, and be a respectful kayaker, canoer, or boater by acknowledging the presence of marine life (don’t throw anything overboard!). Educate

Suggestions 1. Try to get Blue flag status to maximum beaches in country by strictly following all 33parameters 2.Try to install debris booms and fin deflactors upstream to reduce solid waste entering into sea. 3. As a individual level as a tourist one should carry a trash bag to collect own waste material, don't leave glass material and packaging of leftover food on beaches. 4. One can give responsibility of plastic bottles and glass bottles to the seller to collect...in return they should be given some monetary benefit from producer companies. 5.some organization like NGO , Companies through CSR activity try to organize monthly cleaning drive...in return give them incentives based on recovered waste. 6.Taking help from locals , school children to spread awareness about it in the locality. 7. Survilliance through drones and penalties for not following cleanliness rules. 8.Blocking the wastewater directly going into the sea. 9. Place Multiple Trash bins near beaches.

Following actions should be taken: 1.Waste management planning should be done to determine how to dispose the plastic wastes, cans, straws or other wastes that is taken out from the water.Dustbins should be used with proper closing lids. 2 .There should be a beach control center at every beach .3-4 members must be present to see that the laws are following properly or not. 3.Strict actions with fine should be taken from people who brake the laws. 4.Checking of people should be done that they should not take polythene bags at beaches as they are easily be blown away by winds and fell into the water. 5.Use of synthetic chemicals or soap should be prohibited in oceans. 6.Different devices can be used to take out wastes from the oceans.

The beach is a great spot to unwind and enjoy yourself. However, as the number of tourists grows, so does the amount of rubbish left behind. It’s estimated that over 5.25 trillion pieces of trash are currently in our oceans, and that number is growing every day. This trash affects our beaches and oceans in many ways. Sea animals, birds, and fish get caught in plastic nets and rings and often swallow poisonous pieces of plastic. For enjoying that natural beauty, we have to remember that trash, especially plastic, is a major threat to our beaches and oceans. Not just because it’s an ugly sight, but because of the harm it does to the sea and beach life all around the world. The good news is that there are major efforts to reduce plastic usage and great organizations working to keep our beaches and oceans clean. Here are a few ways you can ensure you’re doing your part : Bring a Trash Bag, Reduce Plastic Use, Pick Up Trash When You See It.

In order to get more people to come, the beach cleaning activity should be properly advertised using social media and newspapers. It should be organized on a public holiday so people will be free to come. To encourage people rewards must be announced for individuals/groups for cleaning the most area of the beach in the shortest possible time. Also certificates must be given to everyone participating. Also a technology contest can be held by asking various groups to construct innovative mechanisms for cleaning the beach in record time.

There are a few factors to be taken under consideration before conducting beach cleaning drive. First, the time. The best time to do a beach cleanup is after a holiday or long weekend when loitering will be at its peak. Also, you may want to go first thing in the morning, before more visitors arrive, or you’ll be picking up around relaxing guests. Next, use a sign up to organize your group and make sure everyone knows where and when to meet. Make sure to wear proper clothing. In recent years, with the increase in improvement of technology, robots can be a good way of conducting beach cleaning activity.

The beach is a great spot to enjoy. However, as the number of tourists grows, the amount of trash left behind also increases. Trash left on the beach is not only unsightly, it can also wash back into the ocean, posing a danger to aquatic life. Organizing a beach cleaning is a wonderful way to do good while simultaneously enjoying the beauty of the water, from oceans to lakes to rivers. Throwing the trash in dustbins instead of carrying it in plastic bags would reduce the plastic bags . Dustbins should be placed on the beach at some distance where people can throw their trash . People should be fined for throwing the garbage any where .
