This was their way of celebrating international women\u2019s day.<\/p>\n<p>The first women\u2019s only ocean clean-up was organised by Bond Safari Kovalam. Representatives from different profession were selected for the task and they proudly displayed their affection for the sea by holding placards which read \u2018There is love and life in the water\u2019, \u2018There\u2019s no planet B\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Executive director of the Kerala Suchitwa Mission K Vasuki, doctor and actor Divya Nair, IT professional Neema, social entrepreneur Sobha Viswanath and media personality Parvathy were among the team. \u201cI wish I had stayed underwater because scuba diving is magical. You are enchanted by the beauty of everything underneath but you get jolted back into reality by the floating pieces of plastic,\u201d said Lavanya, who works as a radio jockey.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Showing a\u00a0 tiny piece of disintegrated piece of plastic, Dr Vasuki said pollution does not just hurt marine species. \u201cIt\u2019s also harmful to the people.
