Eco Group Fishes Motorcycles, AC Units and Other Trash from Bottom of the Aegean

The group of ecologists who go by the name All For Blue pulled out of Aegean waters an assortment of odd objects such as motorbikes and air conditioning units among the piles of trash which had been resting on its bottom.
Since September 2018, the volunteers of the non-profit organization have carried out dozens of cleanups on thirty Aegean islands, having traveled 1,700 nautical miles and gathered nearly 224,000 pieces of trash, weighing 202 tons.
Among the islands visited by the miraculous seabed cleaners are Syros, Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos, Leros, Symi and Koufonissi. Overall, they dove into the waters of thirty different Aegean islands to collect waste.
From the bottom of Mykonos, quite appropriately, the All For Blue divers pulled out a Louis Vuitton handbag among other garbage, including ironing boards, baby strollers and pots.
