Comments and Feedback
First time we have actively scoured the seabed for debris in the Uk. Of course in the past if we saw a plastic bottle we would always pick it up. We will be looking to make every dive a dive against debris from now on. I am not sure if this small amount that we collected is useful to you for the data. Of course if every diver did this there would be far less rubbish in our seas.
