Additional Information
The waste is due to careless disregard of boat traffic, dock users and fishermen.
Metal food cover, designed for dispalying a fine dish on a plate
carelessly disregarded junk
glass bottles - a lack of garbage disposle on the dock may be a factor
fishing wire - so entangled and plenty, we shall have to arrange another specific dive to remove it
Comments and Feedback
Watch this space for an organised Dive Against Debris event at this site very soon! There was too much fish line entanglement and bigger items littering this area to bring up at the end of this dive, so next time we shall be prepared!
