Comments and Feedback
On 16 December 2018 we surveyed the seaward side of Grecian rocks and the north side of Key Largo Dry rocks. We had 6 volunteer divers who collected 50lbs of debris. the debris was made up of timber, rope, line and lobster trap weights. We noticed that the I beam from KLDR is now laying in the sand to the North north west of KLDR.
