Comments and Feedback
Local community is very willing to collaborate to their lake cleaning up. They invite us to go again and offer us some more help, more boats and hands to clean the shore as we will clean the lake's floor.
The local community responsibles, asked us to survey the invasive plants as well as we were cleaning up. I think, the invasive plants survey will be more useful than the cleanup itself.
