This dive site is where many boaters reside, so it makes sense that the types of debris we found were mostly human daily use related, rather than fishing gear.

Comments and Feedback
This survey was completed in tandem with the 40th Annual Avalon Underwater Harbour Cleanup event, with the help of our partners at Seiko! The tradition started in the 1970s in a community effort to clean the harbor, and this year, USC's Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber and Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies–Catalina Conservation Divers are proud to do our part in protecting the health of one of Catalina's coastal treasures by hosting the 40th Annual Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup.
