Event: Brunei 1st International Coastal Cleanup
Day & Date: Saturday, October 16th 2010
Time: 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Watersports Complex, Serasa, Brunei
"Beach Bunch together with BARA, CARE & Poni Dive Club will be leading the cleanup on the beach and in the water! Divers and shoreline volunteers needed! Join us and help make a difference.
Six million tonnes of debris enter the world's oceans every year wreaking havoc on underwater creatures and environments every day. For 16 years, Project AWARE Foundation has led underwater and shoreline cleanup efforts in partnership with scub...a divers worldwide and Ocean Conservancy.
During the recent International Cleanup Day, they removed over 222'000 kg/490'000 lbs of debris. Debris that would otherwise continue to poison our waters and be "out of sight and out of mind" for most.
More than 90 countries collected a staggering 140'814 cigarette filters, 78'854 plastic bags and found baby sharks, fairy penguins, moray eels and sea turtles, entangled and killed by the debris. Let's join the global effort and show that Brunei's also a responsible global citizen!
