Comments and Feedback
Surprisingly we found no underwater trash here on this dive. All last season this place was littered with anglers debris. Plastic bait bags, ghost fishing lines, etc. It's either been pushed out to sea or has been cleaned up by other helpful divers. Will being monthly surveys here as the local dive season kicks in to evaluate this year.
This is a very popular fishing, kayaking and scuba diving site. It's generally well taken care of, but there are no public waste bins available at this park .
