Discover the charm of the curated collection of books found in the independent and quaint bookstores in Fort Kochi that enriches the cultural experience of travellers and explorers.
Have you noticed that My Beloved Fort Kochi Beach has a waste problem? Well, it goes deeper than what you see on the sand. Waste from the Vembanad Lake, plastic packaging from nearby shops, fishing nets, thermocol, and water hyacinth - all of it washes ashore daily with the tides.
On March 28, 2026, Treasure Trash Hunt is coming to Fort Kochi Beach to do something about it. Trash Hunt is run by Captains, a youth-led volunteering organisation in Kerala.
What Is Trash Hunt?
The format is simple but effective: volunteers get gloves, garbage bags, and a timed mission to collect as much non-biodegradable waste as possible. The waste gets weighed and recorded. Surprise reward coupons are handed out during the cleanup. And the whole thing wraps up with a celebration ceremony.
This edition is being called a "Beach Volunteering Festival." Beyond the cleanup itself, the plan includes structured volunteering arenas, community engagement zones, and a formal closing ceremony.
You can join as an individual or represent your school, college, or organisation.
Will One Day Of Volunteering Make A Change?
Yes. Volunteer-led cleanups aren't a permanent fix. But they do two things that other type of drives often don't: they get young people to actually care about the beach, and they generate public pressure that makes it harder for authorities to ignore the problem.
How to Join
If you want to volunteer, register, or bring your institution on board, reach out to Captains Social Foundation at info@captains.ngo or just call +91 7025721225.
March 28 is a Saturday. Two hours of your morning. Gloves and bags provided. The beach, unfortunately, will provide the trash.
