Comments and Feedback
Shore support volunteers, as well as in water support (canoes, kayaks, freedivers) should be included in the total number of volunteers, as they play an important role
We had over 30 shore/water volunteers. The use of kayakers and canoeist help cover more surface, collecting full debris bags from divers, and then bring these debris back to shore, preventing divers to have to swim all the way back.
