Type of Debris Tarpaulin sheet
Comments The fish was found dead after we land the tarpaulin sheet

Pulau Pramuka is a very busy island. Population increase on the island and the influx of tourist had caused additional debris despite efforts to keep the island clean. We found a very big plastic tarpaulin sheet, 5 x 7 meters in size.

pile of lumbers (not picked up as they are very heavy)

plastic food containers

styrofoam food packaging

plastic bottles


I will upload the photos separately. We've grouped the divers into 7 teams and each team has a diver with camera. Need to collect the photos first.
