Sol plans ‘Seawall Beach Clean-Up’ in celebration of World Oceans Day

As the world celebrates World Oceans Day, Sol Guyana Inc (Sol) will be hosting its inaugural early morning ‘Seawall Beach Clean-up’ on Saturday, June 9.
The beach clean-up will be held in association with the Environmental Protection Agency and will commence at 07:00h.
This activity is just one in a series being hosted by Sol. The event is intended to encourage greater ocean conservation and protection practices in Guyana.
Sol, the leading provider of petroleum-based products in the Caribbean region, hopes that the celebrations will become an annual event on the company’s corporate calendar.
According to General Manager of Sol Guyana, Liz Wyatt, Sol has long considered environmental conservation as a major part of its mandate, particularly as it relates to Guyana. Wyatt states, “We know that pollution is a great concern and we are hoping that our initiatives will help encourage the community to engage in healthier, more environmentally safe habits.”
Over the past year, the energy company has participated in a number of initiatives in line with its environmental mandate.
“This beach clean-up is the latest of our ocean conservation campaigns,” Wyatt said. “Over this past year we also participated in a manatee pond clean-up at the Botanical Gardens in Georgetown and we also partnered with Guyana Marine Turtle Conservation Society to help provide them with the support needed to continue their important work.”
The General Manager asserted that there will be on-site registration so there will be no need to register in advance. She also stated, “We really encourage the Guyanese public to come out and support this initiative, not only because ocean conservation is important, but we also expect it should be good fun. Just show up ready to join us, clean up the beach and have a good time!”
Sol Guyana is also hosting a social media campaign for World Oceans Day between June 4 and 9.
