We now become very aware of the issue that is related to Marine litter, especially plastic litter. In May 2017, the news was talking about discovering about 38 million pieces of plastic waste on Henderson Island which is an inhabited Island located on the South Pacific.

You will find many blog posts written about documenting microplastics, the effect of plastic pollution on marine life in addition to the way that leads to plastic waste reduction. No one can deny that it’s a global issue, not just a marine one. In this post, you will find information about PADI and project aware’s urban Beach clean.

How Can We End the Plastic Pollution

As a scuba diver, you have a unique opportunity to eliminate the plastic problem from your site underwater. You can make great changes whether you are involved in the Dive Against Debris and beach cleaning or use your passion and experience to make a change in the opinions of your family and friends.

However, there are many things that a scuba diver can do when he is inland. The dolphin conservation (WSC) brought the project aware’s urban beach clean to the office when the staff of PADI and the project aware busy on the topic of ocean conservation.

What is an Urban Beach Clean?

Urban beach clean is an awareness program that tries to bring the popular idea of a beach clean into more urban environments and society. 

It focuses on highlighting the correlation between the plastic litter in the ocean of our planet and the trash of the urban environment.

On the WDC website, they explained that about 95 % of the litter of the ocean comes from villages, cities and towns. The Trash makes its way to the ocean through drains, waterways and rivers. 

Unfortunately, this is related to deliberately littering only, but also can be related to the rubbish in the bin or that I was placed out for recycling, as this rubbish can find its way to our Ocean even as a result of high winds or overflowing bins.

The previous words give us hope that every one of us can make a difference by insuring 2 put plastic bottles and sweet rubbers on the recycling places. Boys this way you help to protect dolphins and wheels from the problem of plastic pollution.

The staff who are responsible for the Urban beach clean were very excited to start, then they quickly became surprised and horrified when he realized the amount of trash located around the local area. However, this trash seems to become invisible in day to day life, you will find it everywhere when you start searching.

You will be surprised when you know that the most items you will see are cigarettes and crisp packets, as a result of being light and easy to brown around by the wind. Unfortunately, both these types are full of plastic that takes hundreds of years to degrade..
