Thousands of Kilos of Trash Removed From the Arctic in 2023

During 2023, volunteers cleaned over 28,000 kilos of trash from vulnerable Arctic nature through the Arctic Cleanup project.

This was reported by Keep Norway Beautiful.

Arctic Cleanup has been a three-year initiative under the Arctic Council's "Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment" (PAME) program. The project has focused on volunteer cleanup and citizen science in Arctic areas.

The project is a collaboration between Keep Norway Beautiful, Ocean Conservancy (OC), and local Arctic cleanup communities. Finnmark Friluftsråd is the project's local partner in Norway.
