This is the off-season in Thailand. And the rain season. Tourism is low, and many resorts are closed. Consequently, the resort's beaches are not being maintained or kept clean. There is a huge amount of debris on the beach in Koh Kradan. I'm told that it improves in season. Much of the debris has formed a pattern similar to the tide, suggesting that it came in with the sea. However, it's completely unclear as to where it originated.
I did not make a specific effort to count the pieces of debris in my first three surveys. I wasn't aware this was required. I noted mostly the types of debris. I estimated the number to my best recollection.
Choppy to high seas. Rain and wind.

Over the past 3 or 4 years I have noticed a positive increase in the frequency of schools of small fish that we see here!!
This pond is part of a public park with swimming, fishing and boating during the year.
This is my 17th year of coordinating underwater cleanups and we are still have fun doing them!!!
An intact fishing rod and reel down at 25 feet!! Probably dropped from a fishing boat.

This is an active pier with lots of fishing from it.

Plastic cups are used on all catamaran/ship tours in Carlisle Bay. A lot of the time, they get blown off the boats and into the water.
Glass bottles were found in abundance. They were likely swept into the ocean from the streets or thrown off of the various boats that travel through Carlisle Bay
Plastic bags are given out at every grocery store, gas station and store, and reusable bags are not frequently used. Plastic bags are regularly found in the Bay.
