Thank YOU! This week, we wrapped up another spectacular beach cleanup and Dive Against Debris. Thank you so much to all of the professional divers, diving guests, volunteers and supporters who came out to make a difference for our Red Sea.

On the 20th of May, and in collaboration with TGI Diving Marsa Alam and Coraya Divers Red Sea, over 60 participants turned out in Marsa Assalaya, 10Km North of Marsa Alam, E 25.154686° - N 34.851617°.
Marsa Assalaya is important feeding ground for green turtles and one of the most important turtle nesting sites in the area. Here, participants successfully collected over 1.8 tons of debris during the beach cleanup and over 450kg in a Dive Against Debris.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in the Natural Bays Cleanup! We are grateful to have allies like you joining together in the fight against marine debris. While beach and underwater cleanups alone cannot solve the marine debris problem, they are an integral part of the solution.
From all of us at RED SEA PROJECT™ – Thank You!

Dive Location

If you know your survey site coordinates, enter them manually in decimal degrees using WGS84 Map Datum. Use the minus sign for latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees.

If you do not know your survey site coordinates, click the “Map Location” tab to use the map to zoom into your survey site and drop the pin on the map to fall within your survey dive site in the water (not on land or the beach). Ensure you zoom in as much as possible to ensure data accuracy.

There were big parts of plastic that seemed to be debris thrown by a fishing boat, as it was dirty of fish waste and floating drifting to shore. Recreational fishing leaves many fishing weights and lines. A full diving weight belt found -6kg from the total reported weight-, most probably from recreational spare fishing activities that are quite common in the area.
Full diving belt with 4 weights with a total of 6kg of lead, most probably left by recreational spare fishing activities. The belt was rotten in really bad conditions, the weights were damaged but will be acconditioned and recycled for diving. Also a bright red and yellow shoe sole.
