Global human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger presented the White Flag, an award for a clean seabed, to representatives of the Sibenik hotel company Solaris Resort at a ceremony earlier this week.
The award is conferred by the Global Underwater Awareness Association (GUWAA), and Solaris is the first company in Croatia and the second in the world to receive it. The first White Flag was awarded to Monaco.
GUWAA is a non-governmental non-profit organisation whose mission is to clean seas, rivers and lakes and to raise public awareness of the impact of pollution.
The organisation was founded by Kristijan Curavic, a Croatian world record holder in free diving, with the support of Bianca Jagger and Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.
