We are always so grateful to the willing volunteers who do their best to protect our oceans. We all have to remember that just because someone can't make it to the beach to help clean away the mess, doesn't mean they're not doing what they can at home.

From the ocean I say "Thank you to all those who make an effort when choosing products and packaging, those that minimise their waste by recycling and reusing 'trash' for a different purpose and to those that think before doing."
After 18months of monthly clean ups along the same beach and dive site, we find that the waste is everyday garbage and discarded belongings.
The team were most surprised to find shoes and car parts littering the shores and reef.
when clothing or fishing wire turns and moves across the sea floor with the motion of the waves it tangles and drags young sea fans from their rooted position. We often find coral in various states, we detangle and hope they can rejoin with the reef.

jagged, rusted metal - slicing and damaging reef as it is moved with the waves
entanglement bundles - if not in a snowball of destruction these fishing wires or clothing are usually found wrapped around and strangling the larger branching coral and sea fans.
single use items - it seems all too easy to quench a sudden thirst and dispose of the can or bottle with little care for the environment

Community Spotlight: Marcel Van Den Berg

I got involved with Project AWARE the day I started my open water diving course. But the biggest shift towards direct action was when I became an instructor. My course directors really encouraged me to create awareness and inspire others. That’s when I started working more directly with the Project AWARE team. I knew I wanted ocean protection to be at the heart of my role as an instructor and then subsequently as a course director.

Kane's Creek

Based on reporting from fishermen who frequent this part of the Creek we know there are bottles and cans littered about the bottom so we intend on coming back to try again under more favorable conditions. Kane's Creek feeds into the Potomac River and is part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, an extremely important part of our local ecosystem.
This is an area frequented by fishermen. When conditions are clear fisherman have reported seeing bottles and cans in this area on a usual basis.
Despite terrible visibility after storms the previous couple of days 4 intrepid divers joined me for the cleanup dive in 47 degree water. The visibility was literally less than one inch, so this was a "dive-by-feel" muck dive. Thanks all for sticking with the dive!
A large cinder block. Given the location we guess it may have been used at one point as a makeshift anchor by fisherman and probably came untied.
Very heavy rain for 2.5 days prior to the cleanup

Line entanglement, heavily imbedded into joints. Remove line and hooks and left for the fish to eat.
