Additional Information
Ongoing construction/off-loading of goods onto Jetty. Items constantly falling into sea. Very little trash as you get further from the jetty throughout the rest of the site.
Nothing surprising was found
ropes, tangled and covered in hydroids make making it difficult and painful to remove
fishing float, tends to rise and doesn't stay easily in bag
cardboard fragments break apart when wet, very difficult to collect whole
