Park
Activities:
Underwater and
Beach Clean-Up Campaigns: The park’s management regularly initiates
clean-up activities in co-ordination with volunteers from schools and local
dive centers to collect garbage that finds its way onto the beaches and into
the water either from careless visitors or from near by industrial areas. Garbage collected includes plastic bags, bottle caps, cans, food containers,
and other materials.
The park is also host to
an annual Clean-Up the World Campaign organized by the Marine Conservation
Society of Jordan (JREDS).
These activities are in
addition to the Park’s daily beach maintenance and clean-up activities
conducted by the park’s staff as the increasing number of beach visitors
form a significant source of stress on the beach areas and the park staff work hard at mitigating these stresses.
