Comments and Feedback
The visibility during this survey was really bad, less than 1 meter, which may have contributed to the fact that a lot less debris was collected during this cleanup. However, this is also the 5th cleanup that we have done in this location and with each survey we conduct we collect less and less debris, which can be seen in our data report. In conclusion, we believe there has been a significant change in terms of debris that can be found in that area. We have also seen a lot of community involvement in our surveys with a lot of people wanting to help and participate in our surveys, including the fisherman community.
