Comments and Feedback
The 5 misc. plastic pieces are enclosed in one of the bottles. Since this was a dive for a class, we didn't bring our collection bag and this was the best solution to ensuring the plastic didn't escape back to the ocean. This dive site is situated so that currents bring trash from other areas of the island and converge to trap waste at this location. It is also a popular site for local anglers who stake out for long periods of time without access to proper waste receptacles.
