Comments and Feedback
This was a combined Earth Day efforts with PADI, AQUALUNG, NUDIWEAR, AARONS DIVE SHOP, OCEAN DEFENDERS ALLIANCE, SEA LANCERS, STREAM2SEA, GOVENOR JOSH GREEN'S TEAM, TREES2SEAS, CORAL WATCH, ALOHA JUNKMAN and one non-PADI Dive Center. This was to support Hawaii's Pledge to our Keiki. We had 64 divers and over 100 shore supporters. We also collected shoreline debris and combined with the marine debris, we extracted and removed 4,840 lbs in total.
