It's the start of the programme, we are going to take more survey in more dive sites to collect more data. In addition, we will keep monitoring the situation of the dive site.

Being one of the most common dive site in Green Island, the dive site was very clean in the surveyed area. It may be because there are so many scuba divers, free divers and snorkelers in the dive site everyday and they will help to clean up the small rubbish they found during there dives. Located in the west of Green Island, it's sheltered by the central mountain in the northern-wind season, leading to no rubbish drifted from outer sea. There are some rubbish on the land and luckily not in the ocean. Maybe the government should consider some more public trash to avoid those situation. Lastly, really glad to see that the divers are willing to clean up the rubbish once they have seen it.
