As the world is fighting to end marine litters new litters are emerging also and we would like these litters to end and not to emerge nor increase any longer, since the breakout of COVID 19 there has been an emerging of litters like masks in the ocean plus medical waste as a whole including syringes, vaccination tubes and medical bottles have been seen in most oceanic areas in Tanzania. It is time we make a specific awareness to the world on these and find the root causes and end them.

- Quantity, types and impacts of these marine medical wastes will be studied
- All stakeholders and communities will be brought together and will be united to raise voices together to stop further medical waste pollution in the ocean
- Art posts will be set in every beach of dar es salaam to educate the visitors on marine medical waste pollutions
