Type of Debris on all debris that had been in the water for a little while
Comments disclaimer: mostly invasive and overpopulating species // all debris collected from the site that had been there for a few months already was completely covered in fresh water mussels. These were removed out of the water with the debris and could not be released again. They live at the site in abundance and are mostly invasive so a release was not necessary.
