This part of the house reef is beautiful with spectacular coral cover. Fishing is prohibited in this area but a number of fishing lines found entangled in coral growth. The cleanup event was conducted in close collaboration with Male' City Council, Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) and Parley Maldives. Although the number of scuba divers that worked to extract debris from the ocean was 26, over 50 individuals were involved in the event, cleaning debris from shoreline, mostly plastic bottles and aluminium cans. The total number of plastic bottles collected, including land and ocean, came up to 1,176 bottles. All plastic collected was handed over to Parley for recycling.
The second dive of the 3-dive cleanup surveyed roughly 30m of Male' housereef adjacent to Rasfannu Artficial Beach and Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Plastic water bottles was the main problem - bottled water bottle is the dominant source of drinking water in Male'. Government policies to reduce single use plastic lack firm commitment; an event here and there to make a headline but no real long-term strategy to phase out single-use plastic.
The cleanup event was a big success and the enthusiasm and positive feedback from the volunteer divers have motivated us to conduct more clean-up events.
Stormy, windy and rainy for the three days following up to the day of the event; sun broke through and beautiful weather and calm seas on the day of the cleanup.

It's a dive site used by many dive centres so the debris we found (plastic, cutleries, bottles, plastic bags, cups... etc) are quite normal because the dive center brings lunch box or cups with them for the guests.
Lighter? Nothing really unusual.
Good weather conditions. Blue sky with almost no clouds. Not windy, not wavy.
