What does sea cleaning mean beyond just one day?
Yeni Asır news, published on November 3, 2016, reports the underwater and coastal cleaning carried out on the shores of Corci Island under the leadership of Dikili Municipality and the coordination of Çandarlı Derin Dalış Merkezi. The news states that waste such as tires, metal, old nets, ropes and bottles were collected at the event, in which 15 divers participated.
Describing an event without exaggeration
This event is the centre's documented contribution to marine awareness in the past. The news does not imply an official annual environmental program or search-and-rescue capacity; It should be read as a dated corporate record.
Be careful when removing underwater waste
Nets, fishing lines and some metal parts can pose a risk to marine creatures. On the other hand, it is also dangerous for amateur divers to unconsciously try to remove heavy or stuck debris; Over time, materials may have turned into habitats to which organisms cling. An intervention plan should not be made without a professional team and necessary permissions.
Sequel idea for Çandarlı
When evaluating environmental activities, it is necessary to look at the date, collaborating organizations and the scope of the work carried out. Continuity of local awareness is more meaningful than presenting a single event as cleansing the entire sea. You can read about this approach in the We protect the sea section.
