- 🪸 Cleaning up the ocean with citizen science 🔬 Last week in Rayong Province, Thailand, our team, in collaboration with the Love Wildlife Foundation, organised a cleanup dive to retrieve abandoned fishing gear and collect data on fishing-gear debris using citizen science 🌊Jan 20, 2026 14:10
- Participants took part in sessions to enhance their understanding of fishing-gear recovery processes and data recording. They also participated in a hands-on workshop on sorting recovered fishing-gear debris, knowledge-sharing, and received guidance on reporting injured marine animals.
- EJF would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the speakers, volunteers, and partners who made this event so impactful. Everyone’s collaboration helps strengthen our database foundation and expand the network of citizen-science divers, an essential force in the fight to end plastic pollution.
