Marsa Alam Marina Cleanup

Marine debris is not only unsightly, it’s dangerous to sea life, hazardous to human health, and costly to our economies. Marine animals become entangled in debris, and even mistake it for food - often with fatal results. Divers, swimmers and beach goers can be directly harmed by encounters with marine debris or its toxins. The environmental damage caused by plastic debris alone is estimated at US$13 billion a year.

On Saturday the 7th of April 2018; Over 100 diver from the diving centers of Marsa Alam joined HEPCA and PADI to conduct the biggest Project AWARE Foundation Dive Against Debris in Marsa Alam harbor, collecting over 12 Ton of Marine Debris
