Since 2018, the Association for Community Awareness (ASCOA) has mobilized over 7,601 volunteer participations through at least 41 beach and community cleanup campaigns along Cameroon's coastline and surrounding communities. These sustained efforts have contributed to the collection of more than 3,096,181 individual waste items and the removal of over 2,569 tonnes of waste, demonstrating ASCOA's continued commitment to tackling marine litter, reducing environmental pollution and promoting cleaner, healthier communities.

Through initiatives such as the Cameroon Beach Cleanup, World Earth Day, World Ocean Day, International Coastal Cleanup and Make Buea Clean Again, ASCOA has engaged young people, coastal communities, environmental organizations and institutional stakeholders in practical environmental action and ocean conservation.

Beyond cleanup activities, ASCOA has made significant investments in environmental capacity building, community leadership and advocacy. The organization has trained at least 143 beach cleanup coordinators to lead and coordinate community-driven environmental initiatives and provided specialized media training to 20 journalists from leading Cameroonian media houses, equipping them to effectively report on environmental challenges and advocate for marine conservation.

Through these sustained interventions, ASCOA continues to strengthen community participation, promote environmental stewardship, improve marine litter monitoring and advance evidence-based approaches to ocean and coastal conservation in Cameroon.
