As such scattered segments of plastic and polythene in the beach areas of Kovilan, Mawelithurai, Vettalakeni, Kankesanthurai harbour and Arali fishing harbour were piled up  during beach cleaning campaigns worked off by Northern Naval Command. In a similar vein, the Southern Naval Command too engaged in cleaning programmes by restoring the  attractiveness of Dadalla beach in Galle and Pallikkudawa beach in Tangalle.

Further, the Naval Fleet Command had organized a Dockyard Excursion from Sandy Bay to Elephant Point. The excursionists, on their way, spent time to clean Coral Cove and  Green Bay beaches to help maintain the pristineness of beaches in Naval Dockyard which had been declared as a Green and Blue Domain.

These clean-up efforts were carried out with the participation of naval personnel from Northern Southern and Naval Fleet Commands, following the heath guidelines stipulated for COVID -19 pandemic.
