Additional Information
We headed down to Ammunition Jetty ready to explore yet another beautiful site only to be greeted by hundreds of fishermen off the jetty chancing upon the seasonal salmon runs. Due to the blood in the water, fishing lines crossing over everywhere into the water, the area was unsafe to dive and survey.
Over 100 hundred fishermen all pulling out as many salmon as possible and bleeding them on the jetty and into the surrounding waters.
