On a Clean-up mission
Marine litter harms fish, seabirds and other animals, and is a major environmental problem. Our efforts in picking up litter on the coast make an important difference.
Beach clean-ups are one of the most important measures against marine litter, contributing both to taking care of nature and fauna,
Sjøbris Clean-up is a local initiative to make an effort on removing litter from our local beaches. We take part in national clean-up initiative and provide service for local companies, schools and organizations. We collaborate with local stakeholders, like Fjordane Friluftsråd and Naturvernforbundet Sogn og Fjordane. And we can help you plan and coordinate a successful execution of a clean-up operation:
Funding
Time and place, weather considering
Equipment
Activity
Waste management
Safety percations
Through an holistic concept we combine mindset, skills and activity in nature with the intention of creating deep, meaningful and lasting changes.
Activity in Nature
Creating conditions for deep integration and meaningful experiences through teambuilding, kayak, hiking, coasteering and yoga.
Careful Connection
Becoming aware of how the Self, the Moment and Nature work together as a whole
Mindful Movement
Physical exertion, the constantly changing nature and interaction with blue space engage the body and promote a sense of wellbeing
Mental Challenge
There’s the challenge of the unknown with each rocky outcropping that obscures the coastline. Strength is tested, heart pounding, adrenalin pumpin - Challenge accepted.
Vulnerable Landscapes, Cultural Heritage and Animal Welfare
Marine litter does not take into account protected areas, endangered species and natural diversity. Birds, animals, geology, vegetation, and landscape have inherent value, and must be treated with care and respect. Animals and birds are especially vulnerable during the nesting and breeding season in spring and summer.
Safety Procedures
We rely on Best practice for the clean-up of marine litter:
Beach Clean-up week is part of a national clean-up initiative, this year arranged from september 8th to 17th.
Other Keep Norway Beautiful campaigns: Spring Clean-up Day and City Clean-up Day.
The Coastal Lottery gives young and old an extra motivation to clean up the shoreline. They provide equipment, arrange for waste management, and by register you litter you can actually win a prize. “Kystplanken” is part of the costal lottery.
