Divers and Shoreline Volunteers Needed on International Cleanup Day
The Monterey & Bay Area's diving community and local residents are being called upon to celebrate International Cleanup Day on Saturday September 20th 2008 in Monterey, CA.
Pacific Coast Scuba needs your help to target underwater and shoreline debris in your local area. Project AWARE Foundation, the dive industry's leading environmental organization, coordinates underwater clean up events and urges divers and volunteers to jump in their wetsuits, pull on their gloves and make a splash for trash!
Project AWARE is pleased to support Pacific Coast Scuba. Divers are the guardians of our underwater environments - they often see first hand the effects of marine debris on our delicate ecosystem.
This event is the largest single day volunteer event on behalf of our underwater environment. It's a fantastic example of how people can work together to take action." said Jenny Miller Garmendia, Director of Project AWARE Foundation.
"It's not too late to get involved," said Pacific Coast Scuba
"If you're interested in participating, contact the event coordinator Tisha D. Hartman to get involved at 408-460-8233 or email Mrs.Hartman@yahoo.com.
Please remember that you don't have to be a diver to get involved. Bring your friends and family along and help make clean waters a reality.
Food, beverages and prizes are being provided by participating vendors and there will be much fun to be had!
Volunteers will meet at the Breakwater in Monterey CA, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for this event.
All divers need to confirm participation before the day and will be required to bring their diver certification card, all gear needed for the dives and sign an Underwater Liability Release Form.
