Comments and Feedback
Make sure you put trash in it's place, and share that with someone. Tell your friends at work you are a Diver and see first hand what happens when trash doesn't make it in it's place. Also, encourage to recycle, and minimize single use materials (i.e., Plastic).
Shaw's Cove is in an MPA (Marine Protected Area), gets a lot of Scuba Diver foot traffic. However, is mostly clean and free/clear of trash and debris.
