World Oceans Day 2023: Vizag Zoo organises a coastal cleanup to mark the occasion!

In a bid to keep oceans clean, the Vizag Zoo has organised a great event on the occasion of World Oceans Day today. The great initiative was taken by Vizag’s Indira Gandhi Zoological Park, wherein they called for volunteers from across the country to be a part of this mission.

The main purpose of the mission was to create awareness in public and make people understand the significance of preserving oceans and aquatic creatures.

The zoo officials had asked interested people to help them with the coastal cleanup and meet at the Visakhapatnam Zoo’s beach road gate at 6 AM in the morning. Tools to clean the ocean and its surroundings were provided to the volunteers.

There were instructors as well to help the participants. Later, the volunteers were provided with a certificate as an appreciation for the participation.
