He added "children were prevented from swimming due to the sea condition". He expressed that Nahda Makers Organization was the first which intervened in the area. Where he noted that the sea became clearer. He happily added ''the number of the crabs were in a continuous increase, which can be noted along the coast''. Mr. Abdulgaleel Tambah Abdullah concluded ''I thank the team that conducted the cleaning campaign, especially Nahda Makers Organization.''
During the field visit to Ras Emran village, Al Boriqa district, the organization team met a 42 years resident named Abdullah Ali Hassan, who has been a fisherman there for a long time and he said "Solid waste was all along the coast spreading diseases, but after the intervention the health condition became better".
