Under the slogan Dive into change, the Fishing School of Lanzarote has convened its third underwater cleanup in Puerto de Naos, an invitation to the public to be part of a solidarity day for the protection of the seabed.
The activity, aimed at accredited divers and volunteers, will take place on January 25 starting at 9:00 a.m., with a meeting point at the educational center's facilities. The program will begin with a meeting of the participants, who will receive the necessary instructions, and boarding around 10:00 a.m. for the trip to the assigned area to be cleaned. After two hours of immersion and waste extraction, the boat will return to the School, where the waste will be classified, and then prizes will be awarded to the most outstanding performances.
In addition to contributing to the care of the marine ecosystem, those who attend will enjoy an atmosphere of cooperation and celebration with enyesque, live music, surprises and the opportunity to be part of the change. This event also promotes community commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation.
Those who opt for immersion must provide a valid diving certification, active diving insurance and the necessary equipment (complete diving equipment: vest, bottle, etc.; deco buoy, knife and gloves). Collaboration from land will consist of the necessary classification of the waste that is extracted.
This third underwater cleanup is possible thanks to the support of multiple local and regional entities, such as the Government of the Canary Islands, the Port Authority, the Arrecife City Council, Marina Lanzarote and various companies that share their environmental commitment with the Maritime Fisheries Professional Training Institute of the Canary Islands.
