Plastic waste


the level of awareness is zero in the city, almost everyone use the sea as waste yard and there is no support from authority to collect the waste or provide suitable container to collect it, coffee-shops and resultants by the sea side use to through their daily waste in the sea.. we organize the event to encourage them not pollute the sea, we were only three divers with support of more than 30 red sea university studentس to collect the shallow waste
