Can I clean seaweed myself?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning seaweed from your balcony can be a doable task but it's important to consider the local regulations and potential impacts of removing marine life. In Dubai/UAE, there are specific guidelines around coastal cleaning that should be taken into account.

Firstly, you can clean up small amounts of seaweed yourself with some basic tools like gloves, a rake or trowel, and a bucket. Ensure you wear protective gear to avoid any potential allergic reactions from the decaying plant matter. Dispose of the collected seaweed in your regular waste bin, not in the sea or nearby water bodies.

However, if you notice large amounts of seaweed washing up or if it's accompanied by other debris like plastic waste, it might be wise to contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation company such as Saniservice. They can provide safe removal services that comply with local regulations and help prevent any possible marine pollution incidents.

The UAE has stringent rules on the disposal of marine debris to protect its rich biodiversity. Non-compliance could result in fines or other penalties, so it’s better to err on the side of caution when dealing with coastal cleaning issues.

Should you decide to proceed alone, be mindful of safety and health concerns. Keep your area clean but aware that any significant cleanup might impact local marine life.
