Additional Information
The 'Fun' Pontoons bring many guests everyday for snorkelling and othe ractivities. The guests drop rubbish and most of the building materials we find has fallen from the pontoons.
huge amount of rope
Plastic bottles - not enough recycling / re-using
Plastic food wrappers - lack of education
building materials - the potoon operators don't see the damage that they cause
