Comments and Feedback
We organised this activity every two months during the peak season in order to improve the environent of the dive site. During this survey, it was pleasure that we noticed the debris were less than previous survey. We removed the fishing nets which entangled the coral reefs during this dive.
This survey would be our last activity for 2015 before the island closed for monsoon season. We may resume this activity next year after the monsoon which would be after March 2016.
