Dive for Earth Day 2011
During the week of April 22nd, scuba divers worldwide will give the ocean a voice with Project AWARE Dive for Earth Day events. To date, nearly 2,000 activities and thousands of dive volunteers have focused on underwater cleanups, mooring buoy installation projects, reef surveys and more during this annual event.
As work towards solutions grows, divers are becoming uniquely positioned and critical voices to affect change. No other group has the complete view of the issues affecting our ocean planet, as well as the motivation, skills and training to do something about it, comments Jenny Miller Garmendia, Executive Director, Project AWARE Foundation.
This year, Dive for Earth organizers will also have the unique opportunity to share and capture their love for underwater environments on video with PADIs Sea the Change online video contest. Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) and Project AWARE Foundation are inviting all divers to enter the Sea The Change online video contest aimed at igniting a global conservation and scuba diving message. Find contest guidelines and information at www.padi.com/SeaTheChange. The grand prize winner will receive US $5000 cash, plus PADI also donates $5000 to conservation through Project AWARE on behalf of the winner.
Whether Dive for Earth Day organizers and volunteers choose to film and submit a conservation video, organize an underwater cleanup or rally signatures for the Give Sharks a Fighting Chance petition (Project AWARE Foundation: Petition), they can be sure their actions are counted this Dive for Earth Day.
Since 2000, Project AWARE Foundation and AWARE divers worldwide have put ocean protection on Aprils Earth Day agenda with global Dive for Earth Day events underwater.
