Comments and Feedback
This survey was made during our first event for the project aware week.
We are Venice Diving, a dive community located near the famous city of Venice in Italy. After a busy summer season for divers and vacationers a lot of rubbish ended up around the neighboring area. Together as a team of ocean activists, we are cleaning one of our most important snorkeling and diving locations nearby, which, due to its location and surrounding currents, is severely affected by the plastic and other rubbish allocating on its pristine coast.
