Comments and Feedback
When we did a cleanup around the area in July last year, there was much more debris. We were surprised that there was not many debris found in this survey. Probably because of the dry season and not many rain on the mainland. This survey were done over 2 spots, Pulau Matahari (Matahari Island) and Pulau Kotok Kecil (Kotok Kecil Island)
