Scuba divers clean pollution from coral reef in southern Thailand

Nature-loving divers volunteered to pick up trash that had polluted the coral reefs of a famous tourist destination in Thailand.
Sixty divers gathered in Koh Nu and Koh Maeo islands in Songkhla for a cleanup drive on August 10.
The event was organised by the Huang Lay Ruk Lay Club, a local fisherma, and the Marine and Coastal Resource Management Office in the region.
One of the volunteer divers said: "We found a huge amount of waste. The coral reef will not survive if they are blocked from absorbing the natural sunlight."
Before the day ended, the volunteers were able to collect several bags of ocean pollution plastic waste from all over the island and the coral reef that is harming marine life.
The marine waste-cleaning mission was initiated to promote the beauty of the coral reef along the island and eventually attract tourists in the diving spot.
