Our family company Maloižanin has been running the anchorage in the bay of Vodenjak since 2011. We have always tried to keep the bay clean and had many clean-ups over the years but the sea keeps bringing more marine waste into the bay. Since it is difficult to clean the whole bay by ourselves we came up with the idea to ask our guests for help. The project is called Clean Anchorage Program- CAP. The idea is that, if you decide to help and fill up a bag with marine waste, you get a thank you gift in return.
We need your help in preserving the natural beauty of our bay. Your concern for the environment and your help may be just one drop in the sea, but that’s exactly how change happens. Your participation in our program means a lot to us.
Naša obiteljska tvrtka Maloižanin drži sidrište u uvali Vodenjak od 2011. godine. Uvijek smo nastojali održati zaljev čistim i imali smo mnogo akcija čišćenja, ali more stalno dovodi još morskog otpada u zaljev. Budući da nam je teško samima očistiti cijeli zaljev, došli smo na ideju zamoliti naše goste za pomoć. Projekt se zove Clean Anchorage Program (Program čistog sidrišta) – CAP. Ideja je da, ako odlučite pomoći i napunite vreću morskog otpada, zauzvrat dobijete dar za zahvalu.
Vaše sudjelovanje u našoj akciji nam puno znači i potrebno nam je za očuvanje prirodne ljepote naše uvale. Vaša briga za okoliš i pomoć je možda samo jedna kap u moru, ali upravo tako se događaju promjene.
Procjenjuje se da globalno godišnje između 4,8 i 12,7 milijuna tona plastičnog otpada završi u morima i oceanima. Problem leži u utjecaju otpada, kako na biljne i životinjske organizme u moru i na kopnu, tako i na ljude. Morskim, ali i kopnenim organizmima predstavlja prijetnju jer postoji opasnost od uplitanja organizama u otpad ili njegovo gutanje.
Globally, between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastic waste are estimated to enter the ocean every year. The impact of waste, both on plant and animal organisms at sea is concerning. Marine as well as terrestrial organisms often become entangled in the waste, or ingested it. During swimming, the fish may become entangled in various objects that are in the water column, which can lead to problems of development and death.
