Karwar Coast is the headquarters of the Uttara Kannada District and is described as Karnataka’s Kashmir by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore for its scenic beauty which makes perfect tourist destination. Every year thousand tonnes of garbage composed of plastics, glass, metals, sanitary, clothes etc reach the oceans and the plastics contribute more than 60% of the total garbage that finds its pathway to the ocean in this region. The Coastal cleanup activities were carried out in two different beaches i.e. Aligadda beach and Rabindranath Tagore beach during years 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 by staff and students of Department of studies in Marine Biology. An area of 1 km beach was chosen for collection of litter in all the listed beached during respective years. During the year 2018 (Aligadda Beach) total of 4000 Kg litter was collected and observed in the following order Plastic items > Fishing materials >Food Wrappers = Clothes & Shoes > Burnt Crackers. Whereas in the year 2019 (Rabindranath Tagore Beach) total of 451Kg litter was collected and observed in the following order Plastic items = Food Wrappers > Miscellaneous waste > Beverage Glass bottles > Clothes & Shoes > Fishing Materials.
