Additional Information
Nothing apparent
Action man figure!
Fishing line wrapped around the sunken tree branches, a serious hazard for divers
The tree branches themselves, they posed an entanglement risk
Discarded fishing line was easily picked up but a really problem in long lengths
Comments and Feedback
The site is now in its second year, we still have a lot of debris to clear, it is going well though, we plan future visits to eliminate historic waste.
