Dives against debris by Julie Martorana   (published in Thailand)

The 27th, 28th and 29th of September 2011 we have had huge dives against debris days. We were really surprised to find a lot of different kinds of stuff underwater. The most debries we found were glass bottles, fishing lines, fishing nets, scuba gear and a huge amount of-masks (39 in only one dive!) . We also discovered 3 pairs of sunglasses and a fish trap, we have also saved 2 fish imprisoned inside it! The amount of debris found per dive was between 6 and 30 kg!

This collection makes sense because we put online all the information: www.projectaware.org. The purpose of this international database is to make a report from all the data receive around the world and contact the media, the local government to change the mentality and give a sense of responsibility the locals and the tourists.

Thanks Linnéa for this good initiative.

And we hope to find a clean ocean floor as soon as possible.
