The Centre for Marinelife Conservation and Community Development (MCD) cooperated with the Nam Dinh Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE), Giao Huong People’s Committee, and other local partners to organize the event to launch the new tool at Thanh Hong Village, Giao Huong commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province.
This river rubbish capture tool is an initiative under the “Strategic Plastic Litter Abatement in the Red River” project, financially supported and technically advised by US-based NGO Ocean Conservancy.
The river rubbish capture tool in Giao Huong commune is the sixth and also the one at the endpoint in the Red River of the current network of pilot rubbish trappers that MCD and experts, authorities, communities, and stakeholders jointly implement in Nam Dinh province.
Together with the previous five river rubbish capture tool, the rubbish trapper in Giao Huong commune will contribute to enhancing the collection of debris in the rivers, reducing the debris floating through the river to the sea and raising the awareness of the local communities in solid waste and plastic waste management in Nam Dinh.
