During the action, which concluded around 1:00 pm, a small amount of various marine waste was collected from the sea, predominantly consisting of plastic, discarded car tires, abandoned fishing gear, and even trash cans, carts, and other small debris that pose a threat to fish and other marine organisms.

Following the cleanup, the divers confirmed that the seabed in this area is now clean and that the ecological threats to the marine ecosystem have been significantly reduced.

The aim of such actions is to contribute to raising awareness about the importance of preventive and continuous marine area cleanup initiatives, as well as fostering everyday environmentally friendly habits among the local population and tourists.

That’s precisely why the Trogir Tourist Board adopts an interdisciplinary approach to maintaining the quality of the marine ecosystem, organizing such events several times a year at different locations within the city, particularly before and after the tourist season.
