Stating that they participated in the undersea cleaning work as the first activity of the day, Şahin said, “We accompanied our divers and frogmen as a part of the undersea cleaning that we have already been doing throughout the year and will continue to do. We went underwater at the pier, in Antalya Kaleiçi. We could not see anything, the sea was very blurry. This situation is a clear indication of how much of a burden the Mediterranean is under in Antalya.” he said.
