Meanwhile, at Ramlet El Bayda, more than 450 volunteers came together to clean our beach, collecting 550 bags of waste and sending a powerful message: OUR SEA IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. KEEPING IT CLEAN IS OUR DUTY. 🌊💙 It’s time to STOP 🛑 littering our public spaces and START recycling at the source—NOW. Because a cleaner Lebanon starts with each one of us. 🇱🇧💚 Together, We Will Make Our Lebanon Clean Again.

August 8 — World Scuba Diving Day 🌊🤿🇱🇧 A truly heartwarming scene unfolded yesterday at Ramlet El Bayda Public Beach, as an of Army of Volunteers came together for a National Beach and Underwater cleanup campaign extending from South to North. People from all walks of Lebanese society—NGOs, businesses, governmental entities, diving centers, organizations, families, friends, and passionate individuals—stood side by side, united by one purpose: to protect our sea and build a cleaner, better, and more sustainable Lebanon 🇱🇧 Beyond the tons of waste collected ( 600 bags of plastics and mostly microplastics) we cleaned, what touched us most was the beautiful image of togetherness, solidarity, and collective responsibility. This is the Lebanon we believe in 🇱🇧 A Lebanon where we come together, take responsibility, give back, and turn our love for our country into action. From South to North, one message, one heart, one Lebanon. WE LOVE YOU LEBANON 🇱🇧 A big shoutout to our partners and supporters @baladiyetbeirut @lebanesecivildefense @volunteeringmarathon @ecocitizens.lb @operationbigblue @vespaadventureslb @lebaneseredcross @caritas_lebanon_youth @scouts.maronites.gnds.zouk @1ere_troupe_guides_marines @bluehope_ngo @sdi_roumieh media partners @virginradiolebanon @wearelebanon.guide @lebtivity @lebanontraveler @whatsuplebanon supporters @aquafinalebanon @beirutbeer @xxlenergylb @nutri_boostlb @drinkkaffeo @sanitalb Thank you @wadih_chehaibar for the powerful photos.

On August 8 for World Scuba Diving Day, it was a true honor to have His Excellency, the Ambassador of Canada 🇨🇦 @greg_galligan join us at one of our partner diving centers, @calypso_divecenter , and lead by example—getting into the water alongside our divers and proactively helping clean the seabed from debris to protect Lebanon’s marine life and environment. 🇱🇧🌊🤿 Beyond the cleanup itself, moments like these remind us of the importance of sharing responsibility, giving back, and turning awareness into action—wherever we live and wherever we call home. When people come together with a genuine commitment to protect our environment, borders disappear and a stronger message emerges: OUR SEA, OUR RESPONSIBILITY 🌊💙🐢 🐠 🐬 🐳 🦈 🦭 Thank you, Your Excellency, for being part of this meaningful day, for your support, and most importantly, for leading by example. Here’s to inspiring people who don’t just speak about change—they dive in and make it happen! 🤿💙🌍

Sustainability starts at the source, and the SEA is vital to the continuity of LIFE 🌊💙 The heatwaves we’re experiencing today are a reminder that our actions have consequences. Yet there is still time to change course. JOIN US this Saturday, August 8, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Ramlet El Bayda, Beirut, for a Beach Cleanup, one of Lebanon’s largest synchronized marine conservation initiatives. 🌊💙 Together with our partners, NGOs, sponsors, diving centers, and hundreds of volunteers, we’ll be creating a nationwide Wave of Change through simultaneous beach and underwater cleanups from South to North.
