There is a problem with the map and I'm unable to select the survey zone on the map... The map doesn't download, so I've just been using the data from the other cleanups because we always clean in the same area... I also wasn't able to select under the item 25. fishing: traps & pots the number of items collected (17) so I've put it under the "Other debris" section

There were 6 people on land support and 6 people on Stand up paddle boards providing water support plus 3 fishermen helping us with boat support and on land support.
