Today the Phuket Gazette used pictures from our website - from our friend Lia Barrett - in an article documenting the amount of sea debris in the region.

Several of the points made in the article are correct - there is lots of debris in the water. However I do recommend that anyone wanting to solve a problem like this clean their own porch first.
Request your dive/snorkel operator keeps all waste on the boat.
Request your dive/snorkel operator - BEFORE joining a trip what they do with their rubbish
Request your dive/snorkel operator to supply bins for appropriate disposal of waste
Never throw your waste overboard - who cares what the other people are doing!
Ask if the meals are served in a responsible way - on recycle-able plates, not styrofoam.
And do all you can to be a role model.
