Comments and Feedback
The area overall was quite clean, there was just a minimal amount of rubbish, however what was there could have caused problems to marine life, such as the plastic bags and coke cans and bottle especially. The area has a high number of hermit crabs in the area, around the can a number attempting to get inside the can, potentially getting trapped.
