Introduction

Litter is the improper disposal of waste products through human activities (Berglund, Koivula & Eeva 2011). Why people litter? 

• Dropping litter where litter has already accumulated. 
• Lack of knowledge on the effects of litter on the environment. 
• Laziness & Ignorance

A promenade is a public walkway, typically along the sea front. 

The Walvis Bay lagoon attracts a range of 47 species of coastal water birds that include the greater & lesser flamingos. 

Littering is a major threat to the environment & has increasingly become a cause of concern in the flamingos (Kozlov, Zvereva & Zverev 2009). 

Litter can cause serious internal and external injuries to flamingos resulting to death (Eeva, Koivunen & Hakkarainen 2002)
