FARASAN ISLANDS: Scuba divers and volunteers took part in a seabed and beach clean-up campaign on Thursday in the Farasan Islands. Divers collected more than 700 kilos of garbage and waste during the campaign, which aims to spread awareness about the environment and volunteering, as well as protecting sea life. The campaign was supervised by the Fisheries of the Farasan Islands, the governorate’s municipality, the Border Guards command, and the local branches of the National Center for Wildlife and the Red Crescent.  It was also one of the activities to take place as part of Saudi Environment Week.
