Between 2011 and 2018, 468 Dive Against Debris® survey dives were conducted in 172 coastal locations of the Mediterranean Sea through Project AWARE's citizen science program. The analysis of the data collected and the results of the study have now been made available and will be used to develop waste management actions and policies across Europe.

The soaring Reef Manta featured on PADI®’s 2020 limited edition certification card provides a glimpse into the peaceful underwater world of this majestic and highly intelligent fish. The new card is available to PADI Pros from October 2019 and will be available to student divers throughout 2020 when it launches in January.

In October 2019, we attended the Curaçao Dive Festival to encourage support for the urgently needed, science-based North Atlantic mako ban put forward for ICCAT consideration by Senegal. Ian Campbell, Project AWARE Associate Director Policy and Campaigns recounts the visit to Curaçao and highlights how divers can help.

Ein weiteres Jahr geht zu Ende und hier bei Project AWARE® denken wir dabei an die tollen Erfolge für die Meere zurück, die wir dank euch, unserer tolle Community aus Meeresabenteurern, erzielen konnten.

今年も間もなく終わろうとしています。Project AWARE®においては、あなたを含めた私たち全員が成し遂げた、海のために実施した素晴らしい貢献をここで振り返ってみます。

Завершая очередной год, здесь, в Фонде Project AWARE®, мы вспоминаем обо всех важных победах в деле защиты природы наших океанов, которые помогли одержать вы, наше замечательное сообщество исследователей океана.

Mentre sta per chiudersi un altro anno, qui a Project AWARE® riflettiamo su tutte le incredibili vittorie per l’oceano che voi, la nostra favolosa comunità di avventurieri dell’oceano, ci avete permesso di ottenere.

A medida que va finalizando un año más, aquí, en Project AWARE®, reflexionamos sobre todos los magníficos triunfos en beneficio del océano, que tú y nuestra apasionada comunidad de aventureros del océano habéis permitido que logremos.

Every number tells a story. From monitoring and protecting our favorite dive sites to achieving conservation wins for vulnerable species, the movement for a clean and healthy ocean is creating positive change locally and globally. In 2019, our global voice and conservation actions helped connect the passion for ocean adventure with the purpose of marine conservation. Together, we bridge the gap between community-led actions and policy change. Together, we make the impossible possible.
