Face masks unearthed on International Coastal Clean-up Day

PETALING JAYA: Every year, an international clean-up of coastal locations brings up the usual suspects – plastic bottles, cigarette butts, food wrappers, plastic pieces and bottle caps.

This year, there was an additional category – masks and gloves, out of which 1,109 pieces were recovered from the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC) Day on Sept 19.
