Grupo sa scuba divers nanglimpiyo

MALAMPUSON ang coastal clean-up sa usa ka grupo sa scuba divers sa Barangay Punta Engaño, dakbayan sa Lapu-Lapu niadtong Oktubre 16, Sabado, tungod sa daghang basura ang ilang nakuha gikan sa kadagatan sa dapit.

Gitawag ang kalihokan og Litter Heaps Project, nakahipos og nets o cellophane, plastic bottles, pisi, beer bottles, shampoo sachets, plastic cups ug uban pa diha sa lapyahan, naglutaw o nilugdsng sa dagat.

“This gesture is a form of awareness to be responsible and engaged the society to remove trash and debris from beaches, waterways and other water bodies. Our objective is to identify the sources of litter, change behaviors that causes pollution and somehow free the ocean from plastics and debris,” matod ni Grace Bartolome, kanhi hotel manager, pangulo sa Reef Rangers ug organizer sa coastal clean-up.

Uban sa Reef Rangers, niabag usab ang Saba Divers, Ibiza Beach Club, SDC Scuba Diving, USANA-Camille Health, Products, Cipoozdive ug special contribution gikan ni Hansel Brosas.

“As divers, we have the opportunity to slip beneath the surface of the ocean and experience the mesmerizing beauty of the underwater world first-hand. Unfortunately, we often come face to face with the abundance of plastics, bottles and litters in our ocean ecosystems. Luckily, as divers, we also have the ability to make a difference,” dugang ni Bartolome.

“We believe that our advocacy is positively contributing to the health of local dive sites. A shared responsibility for the whole community for the benefit of future generations,” dason niya. (PR, Alan Tangcawan)
