Comments and Feedback
The 50 kg of all debris collected in this action is a very good outcome if we consider that 4 years ago in the same location were collected 120 Kg of waste. (Plese refer to the Dive Against Debris Report of the 28th Oct 2018: https://www.diveagainstdebris.org/debris-data/pulizia-fondali-specchio-dacqua-la-scala-torre-del-greco)
