This survey was completed in tandem with the 40th Annual Avalon Underwater Harbour Cleanup event, with the help of our partners at Seiko! The tradition started in the 1970s in a community effort to clean the harbor, and this year, USC's Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber and Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies–Catalina Conservation Divers are proud to our part in protecting the health of one of Catalina's coastal treasures by hosting the 40th Annual Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup.
Caught in fishing gear
Sadly this Leapoard shark found its way into a ghost lobster trap. It did not make it alive, but we recovered the trap so it cannot hurt future marine life.

If you do not know your survey site coordinates, click the “Map Location” tab to use the map to zoom into your survey site and drop the pin on the map to fall within your survey dive site in the water (not on land or the beach). Ensure you zoom in as much as possible to ensure data accuracy.
