Commercial Lobster Fishing in Upper Florida Keys contributed all this debris.
Seems like a lobster fisherman may have gotten his overalls caught in the one trap as it went off his boat, a portion of the body was likely trapped under the lobster trap these past 1+ years and all evidence of the human remains was eaten by the creature on the bottom of the ocean along with the pigs feet they bait the traps with. We reported detail to FWC and posted on FB social media for anyone missing a person who lobstered these past 1+ years. Overalls images under trap before removal & on surface provided.
Hundreds of feet of 1" thick lobster lines tangled in the reef and barrel sponges.
Anchors and anchor lines all over the reef - tangled and causing damage
Ghost lobster traps - lulling all over the top of the reef on windy days
