Do you know what you eat from the sea?
Do you know what you meet while swimming?
Do you know what you step on while walking on the sand?

The sea brings ashore all types of garbage highlighting the importance of having clean seas, bays and sandy beaches to safeguard our own lives and that of various creatures, animals and microorganisms. The presence of plastics, wood, iron bars, cigarette buts, paper, and hundreds of other materials pose health risks both to humans and other living creatures. Thus, the concept of having a clean marine environment is highly important.
