MAS Foundation for Change

Introducing Ocean Strainer 37, installed at Boralesgamuwa Lake, our first ever Ocean Strainer dedicated to a delicate lake ecosystem! Boralesgamuwa Lake is part of Colombo's wetland complex and plays a vital role in flood control, water purification, and biodiversity. 🌍 This lake is a haven for diverse flora and fauna, integral to tourism and local livelihoods. 💧 Unfortunately, it is threatened by suburban development and pollution, especially plastics. Our project aims to combat plastic pollution and enhance biodiversity, pioneering a new era of lake conservation! 🐟 #OceanStrainer #BoralesgamuwaLake #LakeConservation #MASFoundationForChange

Lunawa Lagoon is home to many species of Lankan marine life. The lagoon produces a yearly flux of 20,000 kg of waste into the ocean. 🌊 But there was still hope as the Foundation geared up for action! 🌟 From clean ups to tree plantation, waste cage installations to Ocean Strainer installations, we are on a mission to restore this aquatic ecosystem. With partners like Parley providing clean up gear and Cargills offering sustenance, we are armed and ready! A united front of donors for the Ocean Strainer including Rotaract and others, alongside government allies like the Moratuwa Municipal Council and SLLDC, we intend to make a full restoration. 🤝 Together, we are making a difference at Lunawa lagoon! 🌊 Keep an eye out if you want to be a part of the next clean up at Lunawa.

We’re thrilled to share that the incredible Ocean Strainer 33, a collaboration with Noyon Lanka, is now working its magic in the mighty Sebastian Canal! This canal runs through the heart of the Metro Colombo Basin. 🏞️ Ocean Strainer 33, along with 3 others placed along the Sebastian and another 3 guarding its tributaries, are safeguards to the aquatic haven known as the Kelani River. It stops waste in its tracks, ensuring that the Strained waters of the Kelani River flows into the ocean without the waste that pollutes it. 🌊 Let’s join forces and keep the oceans pristine! 🌎 Say no to plastic pollution! 🙌 Noyon Lanka: Rukmal Wijesinha Ashiq Lafir Husni Salieh MAS Foundation for Change: Sharika Senanayake Sid Amalean Rajitha Jayasuriya Dilini Siriwardhana #CleanOceans #OceanStrainer33 #NoMorePlasticPollution
