A special initiative to appoint individuals as caretakers of coastal areas adjoining tourist hotels was launched this morning at the premises of the Habaraduwa Divisional Secretariat.Â
The project aims to preserve the cleanliness and natural beauty of beach zones adjacent to tourism establishments, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.
As part of this initiative, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) and the relevant tourist hotels.Â
Under this agreement, a local resident will be appointed to maintain each designated beach area and will receive a stipend in recognition of their service.
The project is implemented under the “Clean Sri Lanka†programme, under the theme “Beautiful Coastline Attractive Tourist Destination†and involves collaboration among government, private sector and civil society stakeholders.
