Comments and Feedback
Our underwater cleanup was joined by a beach cleaner group. Due to high tide and last week's storm most of the trash was floating in the water near the shore. Despite of how bad the pollution looked from above the water, our monthly underwater survey was concluded with less then usual amount of rubbish.
