Comments and Feedback
Christmas tree reef is starting to show improvements! There was a lot less trash this month compared to previous months.
I would like to thank everyone who came out to help! This month we hit 509.15 pound of trash cleaned up and I am so proud of all the hard work everyone has put into this !
