Comments and Feedback
It is fairly hard to measure the number of fishing lines. We end up weighing it most of the time and deviding it into an estimated weight of a fishing line. There are so many small pieces that we pick up as well as very long ones that run for over 100m... We have collected 1,5kg of fishing line and 3kg of fishing nets on this dive.
This is a drift dive site that gets alot of debris stuck on the corals. Even though the main substrate is sand, most of the debris gets tangled in the corals.
