This is a harbor area and the debris found is clearly debris from boats in the harbor and no one event.
This Dive against Debris was organized by Extreme Water Sports Dubai and was part of Clean Up Arabia 2016 organized by the Emirates Diving Association (EDA). The team of passionate divers from multiple countries worked with a single goal of cleaning up as much debris as possible in the time available.

In the previous week there had been high winds for the region with winds of 25km/hr (gusts to 35km/hr) from the prevailing direction of NW. The dive was, however in the sheltered port waters meaning the winds had little impact on the visibility and dive conditions. temperatures from the previous week reached a maximum of 35C with no precipitation.

Thanks to everyone for Diving Against Debris today! You collected, categorized, weighed, disposed of and reported over 84 pounds of ghost fishing gear and other debris that harms wildlife like the Mangrove Snapper that was released from a hook by Dillon and Brian H., as well as some snails and other animals trapped in ghost nets. Thanks to Divers- Greg U., Michael, Dillon, Brian, Greg R., Brittney, Maddie, Anthony, Elizabeth, and Megan as well as the great shore volunteers- Bailey, Brianna, Alysia, Shalecia, Natasha, Spencer, Audrey and Morgan! Special thanks to American Cetacean Society- TAMUCC and TAMUCC Scuba Club. Thanks for protecting marine animals!
This is a popular fishing spot full of ghost fishing gear that regularly traps animals.
