Currently the reefs of Dania Beach and other locations off of Ft. Lauderdale are covered in sand from the recent Hurricane Irma which passed through. Coral is barely visible due to being covered in sand.

Sun cream can't be good. I swim every morning and you can taste the pollution from the suncream when you pass groups of people, and considering the ingredients in the lotions is most be devastating for the micro eco systems and small life like sea horses etc.
It is a beach with a lot of tourists. They drink, eat and do not care what so ever about what happens with their litter. The locals fish as well and naturally loose some lures from time to time but the nets should not be there as it is forbidden to net fish the area. Especially since part of the area surveyed is supposed to be a MPA.
Main issue is as always the PLASTIC. Some days it drifts in from the open ocean in bulk and covers the whole coast line, the plastic needs to be regulated or completely banned for one time use purposes.

La Fundación y su proyecto ‘Iniciativa Bajo Tranquilo’, recuerda a la comunidad local y a los turistas, que ésta es una campaña abierta a todos y que se puede participar en diferentes frentes, no solamente como buzo. Más de 500 voluntarios han participado en todo tipo de labores: como apneistas; ayudantes de superficie; colaboradores en el llenado de planillas, alimentación, fotografía, etc.

Con la técnica de "liberación temprana - in situ" hemos logrado "reducir a cero" el número de criaturas expuestas a ser liberadas al llegar a superficie.
Este domingo 30 de julio, se produjo una nueva acción de restauración ecosistémica de la Fundación Help 2 Oceans, que busca mitigar el impacto de los residuos sólidos en el mar de San Andrés. Esta es la jornada N° 27 de este equipo de apasionados ambientalistas y la séptima financiada por la Gobernación.
En esta ocasión, los esfuerzos se concentraron en la extracción de llantas en el sector de Schooner Bight (Km 7), donde 14 voluntarios asistentes, además de 11 integrantes de la Armada Nacional quienes coordinaron acciones en una lancha de Guardacostas y del ARC Serranilla, logrando extraer 94 llantas para un total de 1.128 kg.
Llantas (600).
