1. Visit the site and look out for possible hazards or difficulties
you may encounter on the clean-up day. Mark out your designated area
for clean up and identify the boundaries clearly on a map.
2.
Contact your site coordinator should you require any further information
about the site.
3.
Hand out information sheets regarding the cleanup to the participants.
See Participant's Page.
4.
Prepare indemnity forms for all your participants and ensure they have
signed their forms.
5.
Parent's approval is required for participants under 18 of age.
6.
A good ratio of one leader to about 15 students is strongly recommended
for young participants below 16 years old.
7. Arrangement of time and pickup location with the bus transport to
and back from the cleanup site is required.
8.
Draw up a programme for the day. See sample
programme.
9. Have a proficient first-aid team with well-equipped first-aid kit.
See example here.
10. An onsite briefing [see sample briefing]
before your cleanup will motivate and inspire the team. The cleanup
is both a worldwide research effort and an eco-renewal project in saving
the ocean. Share with your students how protecting our coastlines can
help.
