This was our first time conducting a Dive Against Debris at this site. We're hoping to continue diving it regularly as long as the State Park officials will let us!
There is fishing adjacent to this beach area, which could explain the fishing line we found. This is also a popular swimming beach, so trash may have blown into the water from beachgoers on shore.
It appears the line had been there for a while so the molluscs may have been growing around the line already. We removed the line from around them and tried to leave them intact.

We found a fish that was struggling keeping it self up right. Helped him up right twice and both times ended up flopping back on to its side. Not sure what was the cause.... possible hook injury?

The final picture is a sample of the many pieces of plastic strips I have been collecting last month and also today. They are new to the area. In June I collected 114 of these same strips. Today only 21. I have been reporting those numbers both as plastic AND metal as each one has a small metal bar on one end that is opened on one side allowing it to be removed. I'm not sure if I should be reporting them as both metal AND plastic however.
I did a bit of everything today. Some time in the concentrated small debris area ( youtube video of that on my June report), some time cutting that massive chunk of tangled nets free, and then a good deal of time making my way through and around the rocks farther northward collecting misc. this or that along the way. Despite the fog and overcast morning skies, visibility was the best I have seen all season.
Golf Ball. I have seen this same ball in the past wedged down between 2 rocky. I finally pried it free~
Occasional summertime thunderstorms. Rain the night before. Sky was foggy and very overcast during the dive.
