September 21st is KBB's Annual Island-Wide Marine Clean Up Day - www.kbb.bm - Join volunteers and divers from Keep Bermuda Beautiful, Bermuda Ocean Explorers, Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, the Bermuda Marine Debris Taskforce, and more as we come together to clean up Whalebone Bay in Ferry Reach.

This will be an official Ocean Conservancy ICC surveyed clean up, a Project AWARE Dive for Debris event and part of the Shore Savers Project all rolled into one. Join us!

On Saturday, September 21, starting at 2:00 p.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. Location, Whalebone Bay, Ferry Reach in St. George. Snacks, water, juice and music will be provided for participants. Everyone participating is required to register on arrival. This is a 'weather permitting' event, with any change of plans being announced the day before. If the weather is terrible for diving but okay for a shore cleanup, we can choose an alternate.

We need certified scuba divers to search for and recover trash below the ocean surface, snorkelers to help spot the trash below and helpers to pull the trash up the beach, out of the water, logged and sorted for pickup.

All participating SCUBA divers must be certified so please bring your certification cards and log books. Divers also should have been actively diving within the past 12 months. It is recommended divers also bring along a pair of inexpensive gardening gloves to use at depth when collecting debris. Gorhams and other hardware stores have then on sale for a few bucks.
