Bodrum Municipality conducted an underwater cleaning operation in the Gümüşlük neighborhood as part of efforts to raise awareness about marine conservation. The cleaning, held under the slogan 'Blue Suits the Sea Best' for 12 years, takes place in a different neighborhood each week. This week's stage was in Gümüşlük.
Within the scope of the underwater cleaning event, a volunteer diving team composed of municipal personnel and another volunteer diving team cleaned the seabed in Gümüşlük Bay. The operations yielded approximately 250 kilograms of waste from the sea.
Among the collected waste, single-use glass and plastic bottles, metal pieces, fishing materials, and various waste items stood out, along with a solar panel. The waste was displayed on Gümüşlük Beach to draw attention to environmental awareness, then taken to the Class 1 Waste Collection Center in the Konacık neighborhood.
The underwater cleaning event, organized to contribute to marine conservation and increase environmental awareness, will continue on Wednesday, July 1, in the Gümbet neighborhood.
