Another day that presented us with three seasons. This is Newfoundland. We only missed snow to have all four seasons. But that did not deter the Gander Gang who completed their open water diver and drysuit certification today, along with a single townie! Andrea B, Paul F, Kenzie D and Rachel M were supported by DMs Geoff Z and Ken K. There was a hint of competition the outset but as the bottom got mucked up and vis fell the collection bags got mixed up so who knows who won. In there end we all won. I got to pondering . . . it has been assumed that most of the debris we collect was deposited by recreational boaters who frequented the area. I now have an inkling that the boaters are not exclusively at fault. Holyrood, at one time, was the squid jigging capital of Canada. That designation is celebrated annually during "Squidfest." And what about the lobster fishery? It has come to my attention that the odd fisherman enjoyed a chilled beverage while on the seas. There is no doubt that most of the debris was heaved overboard from a vessel, recreational or fishery related. Glad to be accompanied by enthusiastic divers who want to do their bit sand remove debris from our ocean.

Great vis. As I mentioned in a previous survey (I think) this year there seems to be an abundance of new marine plant life. So far what I am finding is that many many pieces of random nylon string are getting tangled in these plants.

Also there seems to be more fish than usual for this time of year in the area (many schools, and suddenly this year many John Dory fish have inhabited the area. I saw one or two the first year and never again over these 5 years until this year and they are abundant.

I really wish this survey form allowed for spacing of paragraphs in the "additional information" section after submitting the survey.. That information would be much easier to read if I could separate info, but despite spacing paragraphs when typing, once submitted however its all smashed together.
