More than 300 volunteers cleaned the coast and the seabed of Lošinj
LOŠINJ – There is nothing that hard-working volunteers did not find on the coast and on the seabed of the Lošinj area in a large environmental clean-up operation called “Sea knows, the island remembers”, which was organized over the weekend.
As many as 360 volunteers joined forces to remove more than 30 cubic meters of various waste from the Lošinj coast and submarine. There was nothing in the sea – from standard car tires, plastic and glass packaging, to rusty iron doors. The diligent hands of many volunteers cleaned a large area of the Lošinj coast.

54 divers and teams on land cleaned the bay of Malološinj, the coast from Velopin to Borik, the bay Čikat, the promenade and the coast from lanterns to Rovenska in Veli Lošinj and 2 km of trail from Osor to Tržić in Nerezine.
The ecological action was organized by the Blue World Institute and the Subseason Diving Center, the City of Mali Lošinj and the local Tourist Board, Jadranka Turizam and several associations and clubs to point out the need to preserve the natural heritage of the Lošinj seabed.
The organizers point out that the purpose of the project is to warn of the problem of waste on the seabed and beaches and to promote sustainable solutions for the preservation of the marine environment.
