Assessing the effectiveness of 18 years of Israel’s “Clean Coast” program
Israel's "Clean Coast Program", aimed at tackling the issue of beach littering of unmanaged and non-municipal beaches, has been running since 2005. The main component of the program was government funding for municipalities, based on their performance. The municipality's performance was assessed monthly using the Clean Coast index (CCI) by beach inspectors. This method led to the accumulation of 18-years of monthly data. Our current study used statistical tools on the accumulated data to assess the success of the program and to examine the parameters that affected the success or failure of the program at the beach level and municipality level. Our findings show that the program was more successful in its early years in municipalities with a higher percentage of municipal beaches, due to a pre-existing beach cleaning scheme already in place that only required expansion into unmanaged beaches. A change in the funding policy led to further success in municipalities with a low percentage of managed or municipal beaches. Lastly, we found that the success of the program led to a deterioration of few beaches that are not under municipal jurisdiction, as restrictions in cleaned beaches led to highly littering activities (such as long-term camping and beach parties) migrating into these beaches.
