Comments and Feedback
Fifteen Years of Underwater Cleanups for the New England Cold Water Divers Club! We had another successful underwater cleanup on Sunday April 26th. We were rained out on Saturday but nine volunteers cleaned up different parts of Little Pond in Morton Park, Plymouth MA on Sunday where we have conducted underwater cleanups at for many years. Each year the pond looks better and this year we all saw more groups of small fish and more Turtles in different areas of the pond. Many Thanks to all of our volunteers that made a differece this weekend!
