EFI's Samudra project aims to raise awareness about the ecological importance of beaches and their surroundings, which are ignored due to their use for leisure. The organisation volunteers with city administrations to clean and maintain beach stretches in important cities with plans to extend the project to other cities. The focus is not just on cleaning beaches but on tackling waste build-up and its impact on wildlife.
