The 10th edition of the campaign included a number of workshops for children in order to teach them about upcycling plastic waste by turning it into artwork.
Officials have revealed that since its inception, the marine clean-up initiative has successfully removed a total of 13.7 tonnes of waste from different shores in the emirate.
Some of the waste fished out included plastic, bottles, glass, tyres, and wood.
