Hon Mong Tay is a beautiful island in the An Thoi Archipelago. It has an abundance of giant hard corals and rock formations covered in soft corals and anemones offering shelter to a large variety of fish and invertebrates. We didn't find too much single use plastic such as cups, straws and packaging on the dive site, probably due to it's remote location, but the amount of line and nets that we brought up shows that this marine protected area is still in need of better enforcement and regulation. Hopefully, as the diving continues to grow in popularity, so too does the protection that this area deserves.
No
Size of rope/wire/net etc should be easier to categorise. Some line we collected would have weighed 1kg while other pieces were just a few grams.

High Tides bringing debris across the ocean into the inland area. Over time it accumulated immensely
We are excited to announce a new wave of intercostal cleanups here in the florida keys! We have removed over 4000 lbs of debris just from our mangroves since its inception in September!

The recent conditions with the heavy rains and flooding on Koh Tao in December 2016 to January 2017
would be the main contributor . Fishing Boats with fisherman not educated in disposing of garbage will have thrown these items overboard. Also any land debri that would be run off from construction development around nearby resort locations in other bays.
