More than 70 volunteers arrived in Riyuewan beach today to take part in an annual beach clean up sponsored by two Sanya businesses; Surfing Hainan and The Dolphin Bar. Local expats, visitors and students from Sanya University donned bright green "clean up crew" T-shirts, red rubber gloves to stuff trash bags full of trash in an effort to keep one of Hainan's best surfing beaches beautiful.
Every year for the past three years, Brendan Sheridan, owner of Surfing Hainan surf shop and surfing school has hosted the Hainan International Surf Competition at Riyuewan Beach. Top ranked surfers from around the world converge to ride some of China's best waves.
Surfers are some of the most environmentally conscious people on the planet. Brendan knows it is important that not only Riyeuwan Beach but all beaches be keep clean and free of trash in order to continue to attract champion surfers to Hainan. Surfing Hainan, located in the Dadonghai area of Sanya, is Hainan's premier surf company, with surf lessons, trips, SUP excursions, and more. www.surfinghainan.com
今天早晨我们期望四十到五十个志愿者来参加今天的沙滩清洁。我们开始准备走去沙滩的时候突然有很多志愿者来到冲浪店，全部都是很兴奋参加这个事件。后来我们一共有六十五个人，让那个巴士师傅觉得很紧张因为巴士的容量只有50位。好在有两个志愿者开他们自己的车带多余得人到日月湾。志愿者在挺热的天气里工作，拾起各重东西：胶袋，香烟纸盒，老的鞋子，等等。我们一共清洁了大约250公斤垃圾！今天的清洁肯定提高沙滩的环境， 而且垃圾的大量使我们记得日月湾总是需要我们保护。



这个沙滩清洁的目标是保护所有靠海洋的动物而保持一个干净的环境。因为日月湾对我们冲浪者来说是一个特别重要的资源，所以我们都想保护它美丽的环境为了后代的享受。感谢各位志愿者和赞助商为使这一活动取得成功！
