Additional Information
Local snorkel and fishing spot
Nylon/rope bag; there was also a large chain link fence that has been dumped there, but it also appears to now be a green turtle habitat; we did not have the means to remove it.

Snorkel gear
bait bags/debris from fishing/tourism
Comments and Feedback
There was a turtle under some large debris items (one is perhaps a ghost net, the other a chain link fence). The turtles appeared at first as if they may be stuck, but upon further review were likely just resting beneath the debris.
