The Rovinj Marine Club in cooperation with the local tourism board, Port Authority, Red Cross, Komunalni servis d.o.o., Istria County Diving Association and the Centre for Marine Research of the Ruđer Bošković Institute, on Saturday, May 12th, organized a big Valdibora Bay seabed clean-up action, also picking up litter off the Porton Biondi town beach. Members of the Varaždin’s Drava Diving Club also joined the initiative.  

In only one hour a large accumulation of waste was removed from the sea – old car tyres, bicycle wheels, metal, plastic, old fishing nets and other waste. This initiative sends a message that the sea is not a garbage disposal and that everyone should protect it from pollution.

Employees of the Centre for Marine Research of the Ruđer Bošković Institute sorted the waste removed from the seabed, classifying it by material type and volume.
