A group of 20 volunteer divers have removed more than 100 kilograms of rubbish from waters surrounding Singapore’s famous Raffles Lighthouse.

Ropes, plastic and glass bottles, and a tyre were among the items collected by the volunteers during an underwater cleanup to mark the recent World Oceans Day.

The event was organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to raise awareness of the importance of Singapore’s marine environment.
