Additional Information
Outboard Motor Cover
Fishing Line = Wrecks and reefs are shared by divers and fisherman, especially sites near the inlet. Fishing charters and private vessels vastly outnumber dive operations in Palm Beach County.
Fishing sinkers, lures, and hooks = local fisherman use site and hook the wreck/reef, cutting their line…leaving the fishing line and hardware on the site.
Aluminum Cans = discarded when out on boats or washed out from inlet. Most being beer or alcohol cans
