The document discusses cleaning Juhu Beach in Mumbai, India. In 2007, 1020 truckloads of plastic bags were removed from the beach. Plastic waste from nearby slums makes its way into the sea through drainage pipes and sewers. The document proposes short-term solutions like installing gates on outfalls and covering drains near slums with mesh, and long-term solutions such as banning plastic shopping bags, redeveloping slums, and developing the drainage area as a waterfront.
