In September 2026, various coastal cleanup initiatives were conducted at major Indian beaches. On International Coastal Cleanup Day, government officials participated in the Swachh Sagar Surakshit Sagar 5.0 campaign, with activities held at Marina Beach in Chennai and Juhu Beach in Mumbai. During these events, officials emphasized the importance of youth involvement and discussed the Deep Ocean Mission to explore marine resources.

Following the Ganesh Visarjan festivities, the Divyaj Foundation held its annual ‘Sea Shore Shine 2026’ drive at Juhu Beach. This initiative, which included various public figures and local officials, focused on removing debris and waste left behind by religious immersion ceremonies to promote environmental awareness and urban cleanliness.
