Kuwaiti divers lifted four tons of waste from seabed off Fahaheel beach, as part of a large-scale campaign to clean up the national beaches.
Walid Al-Fadhel, the head of the team, affiliated to the Environmental Voluntary Foundation (EVF), told KUNA on Wednesday that the abandoned items dumped into the waters included plastic, rusted metallic pieces and pipes, all considered quite harmful to the marine environment and living creatures' habitat.
More clean-up work needs to be done in the same sea area, he said, indicating that abandoned ships should be removed from these locations.
The team in coordination with several authorities have already removed hundreds of tons of neglected materials deemed harmful to the marine environment.
