1619.9 kg / 3571 pounds

That is how much debris we pulled out of the water on as part of the PADI AWARE Foundation !

This was our biggest haul so far.

This year, we cleaned up around the Crawford Wharf, which is a very busy place with boat traffic and tourists. Coordination and security was key!

Because of the limited space we could occupy, we decided to not have the Community Booths and education portion like we did in previous years. But we will bring them back!

We would like to thank all of our volunteers, divers and non-divers alike, for joining us and making this year's cleanup a success once again!

What made a big impact this year was the partnering of great organizations and the sponsorship of local businesses who came in and helped us:

Event Organization and Planning:
Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club
Neptune & Salacia Diving

Partnership / Sponsorship and Support:
City of Kingston - Municipal Government
Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises
Inner Harbour Marine Services
First Capital Disposal
Holiday Inn Kingston-Waterfront
Visit Kingston
Downtown Kingston
Great Lakes Museum
Swim Drink Fish Canada

World Ocean Day 2025: Sunday, June 8th, 2025. Therefore, should be on Saturday, June 7th, 2025.

Again, Thank You!
