Comments and Feedback
every year we carry out biological submarine monitoring campaigns, but since 2018 we start to take all the garbage that we find underwater, each diver reports what is found, fortunately there is not much garbage on the island since they carry out campaigns of awareness and cleaning of beaches, so the garbage does not reach the forests of kelp
