Due to large turnout for the Dive Against Debris we conducted a survey at a second site.

This site needs more follow-up. In the water is a newspaper box that is likely stolen. There is also a significant amount of other large trash items. Lift bag experience will be needed. The items will also be difficult to bring to the shore due to being under the bridge. Will want to plan for these issues.
