He indicated that the taskforce will serve as a watchdog to prevent people from throwing garbage on the beach to curb pollution of the area.

Speaking on the UNMIL Radio “Coffee Break” Monday, Lavala stated that his organization has been having dialogue with coastal communities on public cleanliness, resulting to the collection of a stockpile of garbage during a cleanup campaign launched in West Point over the weekend.

He indicated that Montserrado County is targeted due to the massive sea erosion taking place in West Point and New Kru Town in recent times which, he noted, could destroy these two communities by 2050 if nothing is done.

According to him, it is the first time in the history of West Point to have people voluntarily going to the beach to cleanup, adding that they were filled with enthusiasm and motivation to do the cleanup.

Lavala noted that there will be more beach cleanups to ensure tourist attraction for revenue generation in the country.
