JEDDAH: Volunteers and government agencies are working together as part of a two-week initiative to clean up Jeddah’s beaches.

The Environmental Fund, in collaboration with the Lenobadir Volunteer and Community Partnership Program, recently launched the “Beach Protection and Restoration” initiative, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

The 14-day campaign, held under the patronage of Jeddah Gov. Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi, was organized in partnership with several government agencies to clean up two beaches along Jeddah’s coast.

It also aims to raise environmental awareness and encourage community participation.

Activities will be implemented in four phases, targeting the western, southern, eastern, and northern coastal areas.

Munir bin Fahd Al-Sahli, CEO of the Environmental Fund, said that while the project relies on technical analysis and AI technology for data collection and planning, active community involvement remains crucial for its success.

Volunteer opportunities are open to university students, families, and individuals eager to contribute to preserving Saudi Arabia’s coastal environments.

The Lenobadir Volunteer and Community Partnership Program in Jeddah recently took part in an Environment Week 2025 exhibition organized by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture’s Makkah Region branch under the theme “Our Environment is a Treasure.”
