Project AWARE
http://www.projectaware.orgProject AWARE Foundation is a growing movement of scuba divers protecting the ocean planet – one dive at a time. We’re ocean heroes numbering in the millions across the globe. We believe together our actions will make a huge impact and will help to rescue the ocean. We’re focused in on two major ocean issues – Sharks in Peril and Marine Debris, or trash in our ocean. Truly, there are many conservation issues converging on our ocean planet at once, but we’re concentrating on these serious problems where scuba divers are uniquely positioned to directly and positively affect real, long-term change in these two areas. Together, we’re re-thinking what’s possible and sharing a positive vision for our ocean future.
