Additional Information
Post Hurricane Irma The wood fragment with the metal fragments embedded possibly came from a lobster pot that was blown into the reef. The glass is the neck and mouth from a glass bottle, likely housing soda or beer. It is possible that the glass bottle fragment was blown in from the hurricane or otherwise dropped overboard from recreational or commercial vessels traveling through the reef.
