World Ocean Day on 8th June celebrates our oceans and seas and highlights the importance of the waters that covers 71% of the planet.

This year iGEN, which represents 28 of Malta’s iGaming companies, brought together volunteers from the iGaming member companies, along with Majjistral Nature and History Park to collect over 25 bags of waste, trash and recyclable materials from Majjistral Park, Golden Bay and the surrounding areas.

Teams from iGEN members Aspire Global, Betsson Group, ComeOn Group, Genesis Group, Internet Vikings, Kindred Group, Microgaming, Tipico, and William Hill international gathered in groups of 6 and spread out across the park for 2 hours of clean up.

Majjistral Park Ranger Cami Appelgren commented ‘It is great to have so many volunteers coming to help us look after this Park, not only is the Park cleaned, but team members also get to experience firsthand how important the ecology of the park is, and how we have to work so hard to maintain the biodiversity balance’.

iGEN member GIG held clean ups at other parts of the islands, along with underwater clean ups.

Clean Up Teams came from a large number of iGEN members, both young and old!
