As part of a current campaign called #AdoptADiveSite from Project AWARE, BDN already pledge that we will revisit our chosen site at least, once a month. Here we safely remove and record any debris found, also reporting any marine life directly affected to them directly.

For #WorldOceansDay 2017 we have organised an 8 hour long beach clean - inviting the whole community to help - to tackle Miri's beach worst affected by marine debris - located between two river mouths. Prior to this event we will commit (with the hope of inspiring other members of the community ) spending a minimum gathering debris from beaches around Miri on a rotation basis.
ALL data will be recorded and submitted to Ocean Conservancy.

By 2020, with a community completely supporting Borneo Dive Network, we would like to have gathered enough data from our clean up's both in and out of the water, to propose the installation of a catchment net for both rivers, gathering all trash in a given area, with scheduled collection days.This simple method could be an effective way that could reduce Marine Debris found on the coastlines and in waters of Miri by up to 50%.

We will:
- use social media to engage the community of current efforts, scheduled events and for recognition within the community for other campaigns, targeting the same issue, organised by others..
- arrange visits and purpose-organised events, as well as keeping ourselves current with social media in order to raise awareness of the importance of prevention to marine debris - especially plastics!
- Educate local communities (via above methods) - target mainly children and young adults - about the affects an unhealthy ocean has on humans and benefits we will have if we take effective action now - starting at home and changing the attitudes of many locals through understanding and inspiration.
- be an inspiration to anybody - locally or internationally by passing our passion to young students or by maintaining/extending interests of active supporters by having fun, doing what we all love - having an immediate positive impact on our environment and ecosystems by taking action to conserve the preservation of Our Ocean Planet.
