Comments and Feedback
Please change this survey so we can register Beach cleanups not just underwater ones. We had 30 participants help with this cleanup but none were scuba diving.
This was not a dive site as it is situated on Bonaire's wild side and too rough to dive, However it a beautiful location and a designated viewing location. Unfortunatly it gets hammered by winds and this bring the oceans trash to the beach. Today we concentrated on picking up plastic trash only and we managed to fill an industrial sized skip with 100 large bags of trash. That was achieved with 30 people over 90 minutes.
