The perils of ocean trash and what you can do to help.

Ocean trash ranks as one of the most serious pollution problems of our time. Much more than an eyesore, trash in the water and on the shore affects the health of people, wildlife and economies. In partnership with volunteer organizations and individuals around the globe, Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) engages people to remove trash from the world’s beaches and waterways, identify the sources of debris and encourage progressive behaviors. This year the TTEDC is going to Scotland Bay on September 17th 2016 to participate in this year's event. Members can contact us at [email protected] if you want to volunteer or lend assistance to this year's cleanup. Not a member yet? No problem! You can also email us with your interest to join.

Our Story

The Trinidad & Tobago Eco-Divers Club (TTEDC) is the first eco-diving club in this country. The club was founded by persons who love and appreciate the beauty and diversity of the marine environment. As such, it is not a diving enterprise and therefore stands apart from other commercial dive operators. The club was registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in 2011. Members help to promote the importance of marine preservation through field trips, educational outreaches and displays. The TTEDC continues to form strategic partnerships with organizations that advance marine causes. The club actively participates in the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup every year.
