Comments and Feedback
Water polo match here in summer is expected to be the culprit of sandbag anchors and large amounts of rope entanglement hazards.
Water polo event coordinator needs to be found and made aware of the danger of the rope left behind to humans and marine life as well as plastic sandbags as they separate into smaller pieces.
