Comments and Feedback
I dedicated this dive to removing tangled nets and ropes from the underwater pipes as I did when I first adopted this site. The above reported debris are very conservative estimates as I did not dissect the mass of nets and ropes. See the pictures. Here is also at 28 minute video from start to finish of the removal in POV. I did sadly murder some innocent seaweed in the process. I know that is a big no-no, but i made a judgement call that some seaweed that will be harvested by locals anyway can be sacrificed to remove such a massive amount of debris. https://vimeo.com/340901513
