Red bull can from 10 years ago

Fishing lines - many animals get entangled. Luckily we removed a very recent one. Many people fish from this site

Plastic bags - this site is always filed with plastic bags. Many people enjoy the sun at this site and leave their trash in between the rocks

Cans - same as above.
