VTV.vn - Over one ton of ocean waste has been collected by activists and diving instructors at Thailand's famous resort island of Phi Phi in an environment conservation project during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The 'Clean Me Phi Phi Today' project will continue until May 12 when the lockdown of the island is expected to be lifted. Participating activists, divers and business operators collected the likes of automobile tyres and glass and plastic bottles at the main pier of the Island.

Prasert Wongna, head of tourism business operators' club of Phi Phi Island, said with the travelling ban it was a great opportunity to revive the environment of the island. The project also draws the community to improve waste management and sewage system of the island.
