On 06 August 2024, Yashaswi Fish Meal and Oil Company, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries at Malpe Harbour and local fishermen’s associations, participated in a community cleaning drive at Malpe Fishing Harbour. The initiative aimed to promote environmental responsibility, raise awareness about marine pollution, and enhance the overall hygiene and operational conditions of the harbour.
The event brought together fishermen, departmental staff, and company representatives to actively clean the harbour area, remove waste, and implement better waste management practices. Participants also engaged in discussions about sustainable practices that can help reduce marine litter and protect coastal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of collective action in preserving the health of the fishing environment.
This activity reinforced Yashaswi’s commitment to community engagement and sustainable fisheries management. By supporting such initiatives, the company not only contributes to environmental stewardship but also strengthens relationships with local stakeholders, demonstrating a shared responsibility for maintaining clean, safe, and productive fishing harbours along the Karnataka coast.
