QLZH Foundation Ocean Bed Clean-Up: 2.7 Tonnes of Rubbish Removed

At QuickLets, giving back to the communities we work in is something we take to heart – which is why we were proud to support the QLZH Foundation's Ocean Bed Clean-Up, celebrating its 10th edition this past Saturday, 12th September, at Ix-Xatt tal-Birgu.

The milestone event brought together over 80 volunteers, including 25 divers who worked below the surface to clear the seabed, alongside snorkelers, on-land volunteers, and SUP and kayak teams helping transport waste from the sea to the shore. A guided breathing and stretching session with Yogalex kicked off the morning, getting everyone prepped before heading into the water.

2.7 Tonnes of Rubbish Removed from the Seabed

By the end of the day, volunteers had removed a remarkable 2.7 metric tonnes of rubbish from the seabed and surrounding coastline. The Mayor of Birgu, John Boxall, also attended to show his support.

QLZH Foundation CEO Steve Mercieca once again played a key role in the day, taking part alongside volunteers as he has done throughout the initiative's ten-year journey. His ongoing passion for marine conservation and community action continues to drive this event forward.
