| Comments | in the day of our clean up a guest from the hotel called us because he found in the sand two baby birds entangled, to help him freed the birds, their feet were attached and swollen and cut by the fish line that was probably in between the material the parent birds used to make their nest. |

Comments and Feedback
many times we find fishing abandoned nets, and we have dead fishes in Mangrove areas and were we have many turtles swimming, we all know they can get entangled on those nets.
we have some tires in the dive site, but I never know if its best to leave them, since there are other creatures inside and sometimes even fire coral growing on it or to take them out of the water.
