Additional Information
No
A kite string with handle but the kite was missing
Rice Sacks - They easily get caught on the coral or rock and then smother the corals around them, It is very difficult to untangle them while not damaging the reef
Fishing line - This gets caught somewhere and then the rest of the line tangles all along the reef
Plastic bags - We have so many turtles here that plastic bags floating or stuck on the reef are bound to be mistaken for food
