Additional Information
fully unfurled fishing line. later found out that another diver had collected the spool earlier that day and cut the rest of the line because it was too long to collect while with customers.
fishing line, more time consuming to collect, potential entanglement hazard.
sharp metal fragments, go through mesh bag, must be extremely cautious
plastic food container, bits if crusty oil stuck on, did not want to get it all over the mesh bag. Brought out separately
