Comments and Feedback
Today we discovered a real underground dump in the sandy area: we could spot a lot of small part of objects surfacing from the bottom. After we start to lift them we've been forced to work deep in the ground to recover it so we found and got out more debris including several fishing line and plastic containers. However the situation in the rocky area was very clean compared with the previous events. Tha microplastic is visible and still represent the biggest problem.
