UNDERWATER CLEAN UP - FEMALE ISLAND BECOMES A BLUE OCEANS AMBASSADOR It's no secret: Every year tens of thousands of marine animals and seabirds die because they eat or become entangled in trash in the ocean. This marine debris is known to devastate habitats (both underwater and on land), enter the food chain of aquatic life (in turn reaching our digestive systems), and foul once pristine and pristine coastal areas. 70 percent of the trash that ends up in our ocean sinks to the seafloor. Join the Underwater Clea Up program that harnesses the potential of divers and uses their love of the ocean to help solve the problem of underwater marine debris. We are proud to support this global citizen science project by conducting weekly cleanup dives in our precious coral reefs. How our Underwater Clean Up meeting works at Diving Center Saracen at 09:30 we will provide tanks, weights and net bags, so all you have to do is bring yourself and your diving equipment (equipment rental is available) Our dive starts at the Scalo Madonna dive site in Isola delle Femmine near the dive center and lasts 45-50 minutes, then all the debris collected after the dive will be separated and sorted so that we can identify the major sources of marine pollutants finally we will conclude with coffee and a brainstorming session on effective solutions we can implement locally to stop the waste at the source. Diving Center Saracen sends all data to the various agencies in charge to help raise awareness and inform local policy change
