Some vehicle tyres and gas canisters that are below the surface are too heavy to bring up on these clean ups. We must aim to avoid these items making it to the sea in the first place. A bigger operation can be put in place to remove these bigger items.
A Montserrat flag!
beverage cans - so easy to blow from the shoreon the wind, yet they fill with water and sand as they sink to the bottom.
Plastic fragments - in many diffeerent shapes and sizes in differenrt states of breaking into peices
Plastic cutlery - too easily used once and discarded
Comments and Feedback
With a team working to clean up the beach as well as our Dive Against Debris crew, we managed to save the ocean from over 200kg of waste! It was great to team up with Coral cay Conservation and 4Oceans for Earth Day 2017!!
