Comments and Feedback
At this event we were 3 divers and 1 land support. Following the campaign "Let's Clean Europe" 4-25 May 2018 and together with the 2nd Kindergarten of Loutraki we cleaned shore and seabed in Loutraki. First at school we talked with children about marine pollution, for plastic recycling and showed them divers gear. On the beach the children brought their own improvised banners, they cleaned the beach and gave the example how to keep the shores clean !!!
