Despite having opened its doors just six months ago, the Awei Pila Resort in Myanmar’s remote Mergui archipelago has already had a positive impact on its surrounding waters. In May, a team from the resort embarked on an ocean clean-up with a group of international divers. The effort saw more than 300 kilograms of abandoned fishing gear retrieved from the water and from coral reefs.
