Vac from the Sea - Koh Phi Phi Ley, Thailand
Blue View Divers in Thailand coordinated a cleanup, in connection with the Electrolux Vac from the Sea project, on Loh Dalum Bay, a 2 kilometer stretch of beach on Koh Phi Phi Don. There were a total of around 40 volunteers participating in the cleanup, even tourists got involved and helped out by filling bags with rubbish off the beach which took place the 20st of August. The majority of rubbish gathered off the beaches consisted of discarded empty beer bottles, broken glass, plastic straws, spoons and copious amounts of Styrofoam. On the 21st of August seven members of the Blue View Divers team took part in a dive and beach cleanup around the marine park islands of Koh Phi Phi Ley. As the team dive around the sites on a daily basis, they had noticed that one particular site called Pileh Wall had several fish nets that had been entangled amongst the staghorn corals. The total rubbish collected over the two day cleanup event amounted to 962 Kgs of rubbish.
