Celebrating 40 years of service - including insurance for divers, dive centers, and dive professionals, DAN Europe’s Maldives' partner, Allied Insurance Company , kicked off the celebration of this milestone last weekend with Dive40—a Dive Against Debris survey supporting PADI AWARE’s mission to drive local action for global ocean conservation.

Divers, often the first to witness the human impact on marine environments, are uniquely positioned to report, remove, and advocate for the prevention of marine debris at its source. By collecting and quantifying this data, Allied Insurance's CSR event contributes to the world’s largest underwater marine debris database, furthering efforts to protect our oceans.
The survey area is a docking jetty for commercial fisher boats that drop off their catch to be weighed and purchased by the fish factories on the island.
During a dedicated three-hour ocean cleanup on 11 January Saturday, the team of divers successfully removed an impressive 574 kg of marine debris from a part of Himmafushi lagoon. While plastic made up the majority of items by count, rubber tires (214 kg) and metal (170 kg) outweighed the plastic (106 kg) by weight. We had the opportunity to deliver an awareness session to school students and the local population of the island. The session highlighted the scourge of plastic pollution, emphasizing the adverse effects of plastic fragmenting into microplastics, disrupting marine ecosystems, and eventually entering the food chain through fish and seafood. We advocated for responsible plastic use, encouraging the avoidance of single-use plastics and promoting the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Plastic packaging and bags, reflecting a convenience-driven lifestyle that is pervasive across the country.
Plastic tires, commonly used as fenders on boats, was a frequent find at the busy jetty with high traffic from fishing boats.
Plastic fishing lines left behind by anglers are a frequent debris at jetties across the country.
