Project AWARE
OrganizationAbout
Project AWARE is a global movement for ocean protection, initiated by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) in the late 1980s. It connects the passion for ocean adventure with the purpose of marine conservation, aiming to create lasting change. The organization rallies divers and ocean enthusiasts to take action against marine pollution, particularly through initiatives like Dive Against Debris, which involves underwater surveys and debris removal. Project AWARE also promotes science-based conservation policies to protect marine biodiversity. By engaging a global community of volunteers, Project AWARE raises awareness about the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems. It supports initiatives like the Adopt a Dive Site program, where participants commit to regular cleanups and data submission. Additionally, Project AWARE offers educational courses and resources to promote sustainable practices and reduce pollution. Through these efforts, the organization works towards a future where the ocean no longer needs protection, fostering a clean and healthy marine environment for all.
