PROJECT AWARE
We all have our favourite sports or free-time activities, but how many of us think about the effect they have on the environment? Trekking in the mountains, fishing in a lake, or scuba-diving near a coral reef are all examples of ways in which we interact with the environment through sports and outdoor activities. This means that we should take measures not to harm the environment, and to leave it exactly as we found it.

Aquatic World — водный мир; Awareness — осведомлённость; Responsibility — ответственность; Education — обучение. На большом снимке видны ныряльщик, рыбы, кораллы и морская черепаха; на другом люди очищают берег. Статья объясняет, что Project AWARE обучает дайверов беречь подводную среду и организует уборку мусора на берегу и морском дне. Поэтому оба изображения показывают цель проекта: узнать о красоте моря и действовать так, чтобы сохранить её. Перевод ответа: «Снимки показывают морскую жизнь и уборку берега. Проект учит защищать океаны».
The pictures show marine life, a diver and people cleaning a beach. Project AWARE teaches people to protect the underwater world and organises clean-ups, so both pictures illustrate its work.
