If you know your survey site coordinates, enter them manually in decimal degrees using WGS84 Map Datum. Use the minus sign for latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees.

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.

We formed a new FB group @FriendsofChowderBay - join us to see posts. We intend to adopt this dive site to help protect its unique delicate marine life - ref. this article:

https://www.scubadivermag.com.au/chowder-bay-conservation-initiative/
Australia Day public holiday on 26 Jan (see linked article) saw huge crowds of fishermen and families:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9186509/Thousands-flock-PACKED-beaches-Sydney-Australia-Day-celebrations-sun.html
This dive focused on recovery of fishing debris that threatens delicate marine life on and around the jetty pylons, incl. endangered white and pot belly sea horses unique to Sydney waters. Mission accomplished!

The # of reported fishing lines (80) is estimated; there were countless metres of them, long lines and pieces (total weighed about 0.5kg), many so entangled that it was too hard to count individual lines or measure the total length.

Quick breakdown of the metal fishing items: 2 large lures w/hooks, 2 squid jigs, 47 sinkers, 68 hooks, 51 swivels. Plus 8 plastic lures and 1 plastic floater.

With thanks to the organisers of this pilot event: Sue Liu (initiator & campaign lead), Sylvi Soe (videographer), Jayne Jenkins (photographer, credit for u/w images enclosed), Deborah Dickson-Smith (writer, credit for article linked below) and Brigit Jager (AWARE Dive Against Debris team leader) and all participating members of the group 'Women of Water - Diving and Marine Conservation in Sydney'.
