Bottles, plastic, metal and other litter was scooped up from the seafloor in Valletta's Banjijiet as part of an underwater clean-up held this morning to mark Earth Day.
Seventeen divers took part in the clean-up operation held days before the start of the Valletta Green Festival.
Environment Minister José Herrera thanked all those who took part in the clean-up and said it was essential that his ministry was directly involved in keeping Malta clean.
The clean-up was organised by the Environment Ministry and Valletta 2018 Foundation, in collaboration with Wastserv, Diveshack and Nature Trust.
