'''Project AWARE''' is a global movement of scuba divers protecting the ocean planet – one dive at a time. Driven by the values and desires of the international diving community, Project AWARE ([[non-profit organization|non-profit]]) leads campaigns, conducts research and implements policy changes to prevent the death of the most vulnerable underwater species and decrease pollution.

== History ==
Project AWARE was established in 1989 by the [[Professional Association of Diving Instructors]] (PADI), a leading scuba diver training organization. The initiative was initially focused on educating divers about environmental issues. It became a registered non-profit in the United States in 1992.

== Mission ==
The mission of Project AWARE is to connect the passion for ocean adventure with the purpose of marine conservation. It aims to create a powerful community for change, and seeks to inspire, persuade and inform people to work together for a clean, healthy ocean.

== Programs ==
Project AWARE runs two main campaigns: ''Dive Against Debris'' and ''Sharks in Peril''.

''Dive Against Debris'' is a year-round global survey of underwater litter. Divers report the types, quantities, and locations of materials collected.

''Sharks in Peril'' focuses on the issues of [[overfishing]] and [[shark finning]], advocating for national and global protections for shark species.

== Impact ==
Project AWARE has made significant contributions to marine conservation. It has removed tons of trash from the ocean, protected vulnerable shark and ray species, and influenced policies in various countries.
