Comments and Feedback
I have included the plastic seals from water bottles as a separate plastic item as they are a problem in this area. I understand Kristen Sarra from Scuba Seekers has also raised this issue.
It was cleaned 5 days ago at the start of AWARE Week so most of the trash collected today is just 5 days worth of debris
