Additional Information
A large patio umbrella. Probably flew into the sea from a nearby restaurant as they have umbrellas shading their entire restaurant. Too large and heavy to move. We plan on going in with a team and lift bags later to remove it.
cigarrete butts; no bins to dispose of them and large smoking culture here
hookah pieces; colorful plastic pieces show the shisha is fresh and not used; people break them off at the seaside restaurants. We found 62 bits, maybe it should have its own category on the DAD data sheet for Egypt
lid wrappers; the ones from around the plastic water bottle lids
