Doha, Qatar: The Old Doha Port successfully hosted the second edition of its annual Seabed Cleaning Initiative yesterday, marking another milestone in its commitment to marine conservation efforts.

Focused on restoring seafaring ecosystems and safeguarding the environment, this collaborative effort reaffirmed the port’s leadership in sustainable development and environmental protection.

The second edition of the Seabed Cleaning Initiative saw the participation of over 50 certified divers, supported by key stakeholders, in a coordinated effort to restore the marine environment.

This achievement was made possible through the contributions of several partners, with ExxonMobil Qatar serving as a key contributor. Green Energy conducted pre-event surveys to identify the amount of waste at the targeted area, while Tanzifco managed the collection, sorting, and disposal of debris.

The Qatari Coast Guard provided vital safety measures for divers, and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change supplied boats, crane boats, and logistical support to ensure a seamless operation.
