潛水員可如何貢獻? How can divers contribute? WWF 提供潛水網袋, 供潛水員清理海底垃圾之用 收集相關數據, 有助政府及環保團體深入瞭解問題, 並採取針對性措施 WWF supply underwater mesh bag for divers to cleanup marine litter Collect useful data to help government and NGOs understand the problem in order to implement targeted measures
記錄海洋垃圾 Record the marine litter 將海底垃圾帶回船上, 將其磅重, 並以調查記錄表記錄垃圾類別, 然後妥善處置 Bring the marine litter back on boat and weigh them. Use marine litter data card to record the marine litter categories before disposal
應該清理哪些垃圾? What should be cleaned up? 基本上所有人造的垃圾都應被清理, 以降低對環境的影響 尤其塑膠垃圾於可行情況下應全部清理 Basically all artificial litter should be cleaned up in order to reduce impact to the environment. Plastic litter should be removed in all possible circumstances 但若垃圾已變成生物的居所, 應酌情處理 例如玻璃 金屬物料對環境影響相對較低, 於此類情況可考慮留下 However, if the litter has become home of marine life, we have to reconsider; e.g. glass and metal materials are relatively less harmful to the environment, so may be left behind in this kind of cases
應該清理哪些垃圾? What should be cleaned up? 太大件 太重的垃圾, 如在能力範圍以外, 不應勉強清理 Do not try to remove litter which is beyond your reach, e.g. too big or too heavy 陶瓷器及其碎片可能具考古價值, 不要移走 Ceramic items or pieces may have archaeological value. Please leave them in situ.
應該清理哪些垃圾? What should be cleaned up? 鬼網對潛水員具一定危險性, 不建議珊瑚礁普查潛水員清理 如發現鬼網, 應記錄鬼網位置, 並向漁護署報告, 以安排專人清理 Ghost nets are dangerous to divers, thus Reef Check divers are not recommended to remove them. If ghost nets are found, please record their locations and report to AFCD for removal by trained divers
