Comments and Feedback
The visibility in the shallows, where most of the trash usually is, was very poor so we focused on cleaning the coral reef. Thankfully, not much trash there. We have also found a pretty large piece of plexiglass (part of boat, about 8 to 10 kg), but as it was already occupied with some flora and fauna, we left it where it was.
