International Clean Up Day September 2007
We decided to something different for International Clean Up Day this year as we have been collecting bags of trash on most of our dives throughout the year, slowly working to get the area completely clean of trash.
So we visited a dive site that centers have been avoiding due to the amount of fishing line on the site - despite being in the Marine Park where fishing is not permitted.
This area of the beach is trapped between a two large new developments and until these are complete will remain a haunt of illegal fishing as the area is not patrolled by Marine Park Staff. The cleaning team was restricted to
Divemasters and the dive made from the shore through the surf. Several kilometres of nylon fishing line were retrieved, this is just the start of a campaign that will take at least 100 individual dives to complete.
