There are many many ways you can help clean our seas.
Using kayaks are ideal for collecting a lot of litter, in the top image 25 plastic bottles + other pieces were packed in.

MY FAVOURITE BEACH
MY PLASTIC WASTE
MY CLEAN UP
It is devastating to see the impact we have had on our seas but each one of us can take responsibility, and make a different.
Πιργος is once again the perfect place for swimming, diving and kayaking!

Achla Beach, Andros – 07/06/2019
ONE PLASTIC A DAY
KEEPS DEATH AWAY
For the last months SeaOptimism has been trying to encourage as many people as possible to pick up just one piece of plastic/litter a day.
We understand everyone is busy, however every little helps!
Thanks so much to Lully Newman for doing your part, this umbrella COULD have caused many deaths, but no longer.👏
If you are cleaning beaches or simply picking up a piece a day, please share with us so we can celebrate your work!
