Additional Information
After visiting the island for the first time after the typhoon we already had an idea of where to find the most debris under water. We did not survey a big area, we try to focus on cleaning as much trash out as we could. Besides the 7 divers we also had 11 non-divers on the shore who simultaneously measured, sorted and logged all the items that were collected by the divers.
