A team of divers from DAIVINGS.LV are carrying out underwater clean-up work in the Gulf of Riga, Latvia. They are representatives of the activist-led marine conservation organization “Vesala Jūra”, which focuses on raising awareness of ocean threats, implementing better policies in Latvia, and promoting volunteerism.
How divers help preserve the ecology:
- Underwater cleaning: Divers can access places that are difficult to reach by other means and collect waste that pollutes the marine environment. The DAIVINGS.LV team has collected hundreds of kilograms of nets that threaten marine animals and plants.
- Promoting understanding: Divers can document the state of the marine environment and share their observations to educate the public about environmental issues. The video's creators emphasize that seeing pollution with your own eyes is much more impressive than just hearing about it.
- Research: Divers can participate in scientific research by collecting data on marine animals, plants, and ecosystems. This information is important for developing effective environmental protection strategies.
- Collaboration with communities: Divers can work with local communities to address environmental issues. The DAIVINGS.LV team has worked with fishermen to educate them about the proper use of nets and their impact on the marine environment.
The work of the DAIVINGS.LV team is a great example of how divers can contribute to preserving the ecology. They not only clean up the marine environment, but also raise awareness of environmental issues and engage the public in environmental protection activities.
Call to action:
The video authors invite everyone who cares about the marine environment to get involved in the activities of the DAIVINGS.LV team or support their work. Even if you are not a diver, you can provide financial support or volunteer in other activities.
Remember that each of us can contribute to preserving the environment!
