The clean-up was done next the pier of a small village, the high amount of clothing is most likely to come from the village. People fish from the pier, hence the high amount of fishing line and entangled items in fishing line just underneath the pier.

Comments and Feedback
Please create and off-line version for remote areas such as ours. It can take up to 3-4 hours and 5-10 tries (due to unreliable internet) to insert the data. This will keep people from actually doing it. In case you make an off-line version people don't loose all the data when internet stops and people can up-load everything with one click on the button.
This was a joint dive and snorkelling effort.
