The academic community of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Andalas, carried out a community service program focused on coastal cleanliness, supporting SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The initiative aimed to raise awareness about marine pollution and environmental protection among coastal communities.

The activity was conducted in coastal areas of West Sumatra, involving lecturers, students, and local residents in discussions and practical actions to address environmental issues affecting marine ecosystems.

The initiative also included collaborative clean-up activities, encouraging direct community participation in maintaining coastal environments and promoting responsible waste management practices.

By integrating legal perspectives with environmental education, the program emphasized the importance of regulations and community responsibility in preserving coastal ecosystems.

Through this community engagement, Universitas Andalas reinforces its role in promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable coastal management.
