Comments and Feedback
The first section of location (where you input city, postcode etc) seems irrelevant for us. It is enough to just to use the map and GPS coordinates.
After asking the local staff where they think this marine debris was coming from they suggested the Pelni ships in nerby Bitung harbour, plus close-by villages on Lembeh and Bitung side of the strait. There were lots of small Aqua cups and food wrapper which would be consistent with pelni ferry rubbish, we have witnessed the ferries driving out through Lembeh Strait before dropping rubbish out of the ferry as they go.
