SUMMARY:Underwater Cleanup at Seacrest
DESCRIPTION:Seattle Dive Tours and SR3 are organizing and volunteering on an underwater and beach cleanup at Seacrest Park on April 16 7 AM-2 PM.  This effort is in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation\, King County Water Taxi and Marination Ma Kai.   \nThis clean up has not been able to run since 2019 and on that event 500-600 pounds of marine debris was removed from our water.   \n16-20 divers plus Seattle Dive Tours staff will be retrieving marine debris from the area and bringing up for appropriate disposal.  40 shore volunteers plus SR3 staff will be sorting and weighing the debris so that it can be appropriately recorded with marine scientists around the world.   \nCome visit and see what is brought up and the running weight tally. \nVolunteers will also be providing buckets\, bags and grabbers to do beach clean up along Alki Trail.   \nDoughJoy West Seattle will be providing doughnuts for the volunteers (at the Seattle Dive Tours tent).  We recommend pairing doughnut with a coffee from Unwind Cafe! \nShare This

SUMMARY:Diving cleanup off Seacrest
DESCRIPTION:Seattle Dive Tours is\, again\, partnering with SR3 and Marination Ma Kai and organizing a Seacrest Pier underwater clean up.  This area is generally off limits to divers and Seattle Dive Tours has coordinated with Seattle Parks and Recreation and the West Seattle Water Taxi to perform the clean up during a Water Taxi no-service weekend.   Seattle Dive Tours is again partnering with SR3 and Marination Ma Kai.  \nVolunteer on Seattle Dive Tours – Special Event Calendar. \nDivers will enter the water in two shifts to remove marine debris lurking below the surface of the Salish Sea. Additional volunteers on the dock will sort through the debris and document the weight and types of debris found. This data will be uploaded to larger\, worldwide datasets in order to reveal the greatest threats around the world. \nLast year\, over 300 pounds of debris was removed in this single-day cleanup! This included a TV\, Lime Scooter\, a fertilizer wheelbarrow\, over 300 fishing lures\, heaps of fishing line and hundreds of single use plastic bottles\, cans and bags. \nThese events could not have been done without the partnership of our hardy volunteers\, Seattle Parks and Recreation\, and the King County Water Taxi (Department of Metro Transportation\, Marine Division). We hope to continue this as a yearly event to keep our ocean as clean as possible. \nShare This
