Our biggest turnout ever for a clean up, at least that was the case on Crystal Dive #2 today. 47 people were on board heading to Sairee to help make a difference on our small island.
One of the main focuses of these clean ups is rasing awareness and for the last few years we’ve been educating people to refrain from bringing up rubbish that is not causing any more damage. For example a glass bottle can provide substrate for other organisms and a home for a fish or shrimp. If we take it out of the water it becomes part of Koh Tao’s land fill and provides little, if any further good. Despite the fact that Sairee is home to many bottles that were seen on the dive, it was encouraging to see fewer bottles brought up this time.
It was a great turnout with many nets brought up. Lots of batteries and other odds and ends, including a dive shop t-shirt and a pair of underwear.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made it a great event. |
