Burgas is once again becoming a center for a noble cause, gathering volunteers from all over the country for another large-scale seabed cleanup. Divers and enthusiasts will join forces to free the waters around the Pier—one of the city's emblematic spots—from accumulated waste.

A Traditional Initiative to Preserve the Marine Ecosystem

The initiative, which has become a tradition for the seaside city, is organized annually by the Non-Profit Association "Friends of the Sea - Burgas". It is part of the efforts to preserve the marine ecosystem and increase public responsibility towards nature.

This year's event will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, with the start scheduled for 10:30 AM. Participants will enter the water directly from the beach in front of the Pier, where they will later bring up the collected waste.

Let's keep the sea and the seashore clean together

The organizers emphasize that the mission of the cleanup goes beyond simply collecting trash. It is held under the motto "Let's keep the sea and the seashore clean together", which carries a deeper message. The goal is to send a strong reminder to citizens about the importance of caring for the environment and the need for responsible behavior. The association strives to show that protecting nature is a shared responsibility and requires conscious actions from each and every one of us.

Divers and Volunteers Together for a Cleaner Environment

The event is expected to attract both experienced divers and numerous residents and guests of Burgas who will watch the cleanup from the shore. The atmosphere will be filled with enthusiasm, and the divers will work methodically underwater, while on land, the organizers will take care of transporting the removed garbage. Their actions will be a visible example of a civic initiative in defense of the environment.
