Why Register Your Environmental Activities with Project AWARE?
First we would like to thank all PADI dive professionals for their commitment to protecting their local underwater environment, for raising environmental awareness among the diving community and for sharing the Project AWARE philosophy with their student divers.
Many of you are organising cleanup events and other AWARE environmental activities throughout the year, helping Project AWARE achieve its mission to protect and conserve fragile aquatic environments. However many of these great events are taking place throughout PADI Nordic service territory under the Project AWARE banner without being registered with the Project AWARE Foundation.
We would like to remind you that it is important that you take the time to register your events online at www.projectaware.org if you want them to be Project AWARE events.
Why register your environmental activities with Project AWARE?
If you don’t register online:
• We have no way to track your events and assist you with promotion and marketing tools
• We can’t assist you with recruiting volunteers
• We can’t acknowledge and recognise your environmental efforts
• We can’t use your data and event details to show how committed divers are
This is of particular importance for cleanup events. By registering your cleanups with Project AWARE:
• You can brand your cleanup as a Project AWARE event and use our logo and other branded materials
• You get access to a Cleanup Toolbox for Organisers with many tips and useful downloadable resources (e.g.: banners, t-shirt design, tabards, guide, reports, recognition certificates, translated materials, …., and much more)
• More importantly, you make your events count for marine conservation at a global scale by contributing to the annual cleanup report and marine debris index which help raise awareness of the issue of marine debris and how divers worldwide are taking action to address it.
