Comments and Feedback
It is interesting to see that most of the debris we collect is not 'new' - it has clearly been in the water for some time but only just become apparent to us monthly through sand movement etc. It is rare that we see fresh trash on our reef (this is a good thing of course!) but we consistently collect 5-10kg of older rubbish
