Carrying trash bags, local licensed scuba divers went into the waters off All Hands Beach Resort here on Friday to collect underwater garbage as part of a multisectoral initiative to protect the marine and coastal environment in this economic zone. The divers were tapped by a group composed of officials from several government and private organizations who have been involved in the conservation of a major pawikan (marine turtle) nesting site and the restoration of damaged coral reefs in Subic Bay since 2012.
