Team Bauan Divers Sanctuary (BDS) wraps up its underwater cleanup this weekend! Five cleanup dives participated in by some 40 land and sea volunteers yielded approx 45 kg of ocean trash. The stash? A car ignition coil, tires, shoes, slippers, bags, lots of diapers and water bottles and a mother lode of hundreds of detergent and food sachets.
Thank you BDS, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary Civil Relations Service Special Support Squadron, dive leads Vince and Kix Tenchavez, and most especially to all volunteer divers for a most productive weekend! Thank you, too, to Clean Our Ocean Project for upcycling the trash that was collected, thus ensuring that this well-documented ICC cleanup is a closed loop one as well!
