Comments and Feedback
Twenty First Year of Underwater Cleanups! Due to the Coronavirus I limited the cleanup team this year to just two divers. We were very pleased to see how clean the bottom was after all the years that we have worked to remove the debris! Next year we will pick a different site that has never been cleaned.
