WHO WE ARE

Clean Ocean Force (COF) is a non-profit based in Sri Lanka working towards
eliminating plastic, manmade pollutants, and debris from the beaches of Sri
Lanka. Being an island country in the Indian Ocean, the marine ecosystem and the
beaches hold not just socio-economic importance but are crucial for healthy
sustenance of life in Sri Lanka. Their conservation therefore is an urgent need
of the hour.

Our unique, collaborative effort to clean the beaches of Sri Lanka involves
partnering with local communities, drawing both volunteers and a task force to
tackle the issue of plastic. Local leaders as influencers, and waste pickers
drawn from the marginalized communities will be the frontrunners of the
cleanliness drive. This is a twin pronged approach with cleanliness of the
beaches at its core while also creating employment opportunities for the
under-privileged citizens.

Through our work we aim to make an impact in the marine and beach ecosystem of
Sri Lanka while driving a lasting socio-economic change in the lives of the
disadvantaged communities.






NON - PROFIT ORGANISATION LICENSE

We are certified to operate as a non-profit foundation under the License issued
by the Registrar General of Companies of Sri lanka.





FOUNDERS TALE


COF WAS FOUNDED WHEN THORSTEN KNEKTIES AND JEROME FERNANDO CAME TOGETHER WITH
THE PURPOSE TO CLEAN THE SRI LANKAN BEACHES. WHAT STARTED AS A VACATION, LOOKING
FORWARD TO ENJOY THE SCENIC BEAUTY OF THE TROPICAL BEACHES, ENDED UP IN A HUNT
FOR A DIRT, PLASTIC, AND POLLUTANT-FREE SPOT ALONG THE COASTLINE OF THE ISLAND
NATION. ENCROACHMENT AND ILLEGAL SQUATTING BY THE POOR AND MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES, WHO USE THE BEACHES AS THEIR HOME, FURTHER COMPOUNDED THE POLLUTION
PROBLEM. RATHER THAN POINT FINGERS AT AUTHORITIES OR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS
FOR THE LACK OF CLEANLINESS, THORSTEN CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO START A MISSION
TO CLEAN THE BEACHES. HOWEVER, AN INDIVIDUAL EFFORT WOULD TAKE MANY YEARS TO
CLEAN UP THE BEACHES WHICH ARE DUMPED WITH PLASTIC AND OTHER WASTE EVERY MINUTE.
THUS, STARTED THE CLEAN OCEAN FORCE, WITH A MISSION TO CLEAN UP THE BEACHES TO
MAKE THEM ENJOYABLE ONCE AGAIN.

COLLECTION OF PLASTICS AND RECYCLING

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PLASTICS COLLECTED?

Although COF still does not do the recycling of the plastics, cans and other
substances, we do the segregation of same and handover to the parties who take
these for their recycling process.  Whatever that the collectors collect on a
daily basis are not dumped back as garbage but 99% of the recyclable materials
are taken back for recycling.

COF intends to have their own recycling plants as the operation progresses with
enough donations coming in for this task.
