Mbacke Seck was a student in 1998 when he noticed a disturbing development at his local beach in Hann Bay, Senegal: the area had become covered with trash. “The beach was not a beach. It was a rubbish dump.” Mbacke has been the Hann Baykeeper since 2006, and has become something of a local celebrity.
