Your Impact
As a Marine Conservation volunteer, you’ll be helping a local diving school to restore and maintain the natural state of the marine ecosystem around the Croatian coast. In this program, you will first learn how to scuba dive and then use your scuba diving skills to collect marine debris from the bottom of the seabed that piles up due to high human activity and winds. You will work within a team on collecting waste, sorting it out and handing it to the recycling center.
When you’re qualified to dive you can take part in a range of conservation activities including:
- Collecting marine debris from the sea
- Logging information about items collected
- Learning about the marine environment and how to protect it
- Observing and identifying fish and other marine life
