Joining Roar Green Sri Lanka's next Saturday cleanup + reaching out to Blue Resources Trust for coral restoration diving. Making this a purposeful trip combining travel + conservation contribution.

Practical: cleanups happen Saturday mornings typically. 3-4 hour commitment. Coffee + snacks often provided after. Great way to meet locals + do good simultaneously. Follow @roargreensrilanka + related accounts for schedules.

Also worth: turtle nesting beach protection (Rekawa Turtle Conservation Project - long-term volunteer opportunities), coral restoration diving projects (Blue Resources Trust). More impactful than just cleanup + skills development.
