We didn't specify or count all the debris. We collected bottles, iron waste, lots of straps and clothes and towels. A very large amount of fishing lines. All the bags were measured and directly transported to the trash container. Besides cleaning the ocean we also cleaned the beach due to the start of the turtle nesting season. We coillected 2 20ft container full of trash. 600 Big bags.
