Dear Editor,
I would like to extend a big thank you to all of the hard working volunteers who supported the 4th Annual Dive Against Debris in Mannion Bay: all the divers, boaters, and the lone kayaker, as well as the numerous shore hands who worked together as a team to help to do their part in taking care of the ocean and its marine inhabitants. Along with the combined efforts of the Bowen Island Municipality, Bowen Island Yacht Club, Bowen Waste Service, Bowen Island Undercurrent, Bowen Island Marina, Union Steamship Marina, Divers for Cleaner Lakes and Oceans, Ian Henley, and Andrew Stone (Video Footage), as well as the generous food donations from The Ruddy Potato and The Snug we were able to remove another 688 lbs of garbage, a grand total of 3607 lbs of debris over the course of 4 days in 4 years.
Great work everyone and again thank you for volunteering your time and energy to keep this annual event in motion and your continuous support.
Amber Spitovsky
