What an amazing start to #awareweek!

We started the week with a beach clean involving the staff and guests of all the dive centres and some of the local hotels. Between us, we removed 150.82kg of trash! At the same time, the Marine Park had a joint operation going in the local village, and after an astounding effort from the residents of Utende, we can add another 102kg to our total of trash removed. This means we removed 252.82kg of trash from our local environment!!! Big congratulations to everyone!

There’s still time to join in with our #diveagainstdebris specialty course tomorrow!

Special thanks to staff and volunteers from Big Blu, Shamba Kilole Eco Lodge, Mafia Island Diving, Mafia Island Lodge, Pole Pole Bungalows, @mafiaislandmarinepark, Kinasi Lodge & Blue World Diving, the local school and youth groups!
