Here at Big Blue Conservation, we regularly take part in community beach and underwater clean ups on Koh Tao, as well as having a weekly beach clean of Sairee every Tuesday at 5:45 pm and our own monthly underwater clean up that we welcome any certified divers to volunteer and dive for FREE!
Marine debris is a massive problem for the oceans, killing, trapping or injuring endless amounts of marine life, from Whale sharks to plankton which all get affected by the waste we so carelessly discard.
With the help of enthusiastic volunteers we have collected tons of trash from both the beaches and local the dive sites around the island. Each time we take a look at the trash collected and enter data in to either ‘Clean Swell’ for land clean ups, or ‘Dive against Debris’ for underwater clean ups.
This enables us to take note of the areas most affected globally and of the waste items that are so commonly found, and introduce measures which should be taken to reduce their overall production.
Look out for our scheduled underwater cleans by visiting our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram

Remember every little helps, and if you can’t join us then don’t worry you can help by picking up any trash when you do see it.
