Rotarians, local residents and children join forces to remove almost 50 bags of waste from the Pomorie coastline
On 7 November 2026, Rotary Club Pomorie organised a coastal clean-up as part of the European Plastic-Free Sea Week campaign, held from 2 to 9 November.
Rotarians, local residents and children came together to clean the area where fishing boats are moored, between the old pier and the port of Pomorie – one of the town’s most beautiful coastal areas.
Their collective effort produced an impressive result: almost 50 bags of waste were collected. Particularly encouraging was the participation of children, whose enthusiasm demonstrated that respect for nature and environmental responsibility can be nurtured from an early age.
The initiative aimed not only to restore the cleanliness of this coastal area, but also to draw public attention to the serious problem of plastic pollution and its harmful effects on marine ecosystems. Every piece of waste removed from the shoreline is a practical contribution to protecting the sea and the wildlife that depends on it.
The event was also covered by Bulgarian National Television (BNT), helping the message of marine conservation reach a wider audience and encouraging more people to take action.
Rotary Club Pomorie expressed its gratitude to all the volunteers, residents and children who took part, demonstrating that meaningful change is possible when a community works together.
The sea is an essential part of Pomorie’s identity, history and future. Protecting it is a shared responsibility – one that begins with every one of us.
Together, we can make a difference, one cleaner shoreline at a time.
