The program "Youth with the Sea and Islands of the Homeland" and the launch of the "Clean the Sea" program in 2024 aim to contribute to raising awareness among officers, soldiers of the armed forces, youth union members, and the people about protecting the marine environment and responding to climate change; changing behaviors and habits regarding the use of non-biodegradable plastic and nylon products to minimize environmental pollution. This will create a movement for regular waste collection, working together to clean beaches, and contributing to the sustainable development of coastal tourism .
