Divers Join Facebook to Share their Passion for Underwater Conservation

Project AWARE Foundation has recently developed a “Project AWARE Fan” page on the popular social networking website Facebook aimed at challenging existing and new Facebook users to carry out simple actions that could help protect precious aquatic resources.

“Since we created the page, SCUBA Divers and water enthusiasts from all around the world have signed up to Facebook to join our community of eco divers, invite their friends, and get inspired to take part in Project AWARE activities such as beach and underwater cleanups in their local area” commented Suzanne Pleydell, Project AWARE Foundation (International) Director.

Domino Albert, Project AWARE Foundation (International) Marketing & Fundraising Coordinator, added: “Facebook has captured the public imagination and we hope that it will prove to be an invaluable tool for Project AWARE to socialise online with passionate conservationists, recruit new volunteers, and inspire divers who use Facebook to take action and spread the Project AWARE philosophy”.

The new “Project AWARE Fan” page includes photos, videos, a discussion board, news items, and gives you the opportunity to add and post your own comments, photos and videos.

Find us on Facebook to discover more about Project AWARE activities. Sign in to Facebook and click "Become a fan" on the new Project AWARE page.
