A staggering 1.2 tonnes of garbage has been pulled from the waters along the Gżira seafront, including more than 1,000 glass bottles, dozens of tyres, car batteries and even half a boat.The clean-up was carried out through a collaboration between the Coast Is Clear Foundation and the Gżira Local Council, with scuba divers, volunteers on land and people on stand-up paddleboards joining the effort.According to Coast Is Clear, the operation recovered 1,084 glass bottles, 25 car tyres, three car batteries, fishing rods, ropes, mixed garbage and half a boat from the sea.Divers faced particularly difficult conditions underwater, working through silt with virtually no visibility as they removed waste from the seabed.
