Additional Information
There is a local ferry taking people to and from the Bunaken island. This is the main port where they arrive and many things fall off the boat - carelessness. Also lack of care for people taking responsibility for putting their trash into proper places - littering. Debris coming in on other currents.
Baby walker - a thing you put a small child in and their legs dangle down and they walk around. No idea what the exact name for this is.
platics - containers, wrappers and linolium floor products
fishing lines, ropes and other boat materials
clothing - bags, shoes, pants, underwear, everything!
Comments and Feedback
Maybe for larger clean-ups where it is too time cosuming to count piece by piece, offer an option to enter only kilograms for general objects. For example, our group collected 144 kg of clothes from the ocean and had many bags. They were tangled and too hard to count individually.
