Additional Information
fishing line as we have alot of local fisherman using lines to catch reef fish which gets caught in the coral and they cut it free leaving most of it including hooks tangled in the reef
Food wrappers from picnics etc gets blown into the sea and caught in corals etc.
plastic bottles. we have no recycling facilities here so lots of plastic bottles end up getting blown into the sea
