Illegal fishing

Poor garbage disposal


We recovered close to 170 meters of fishing line and there was a lot more, but we ran out of time in our deco plan so will need to go back and do more tec clean ups. Big thank you to Chelsea, Marianne, Kellie, Mike, Donna, Juan, and Ellen for all their help!
