A lot of the debris found is really old, and thankfully there aren't many newer pieces of garbage. There are a lot of boats docked in the area so many items could have come from boats sinking over the years
Floater coat and a Boot
Plastic bags - you could see that the critters in the water were nibbling on the bags as a food source
Railway tie- when they were created they were coated in an oil that is harmful and could still be degrading.
Comments and Feedback
We stuck closer to the shore when we were cleaning up due to terrible visibility farther out. Cory who was with me has been doing at least one clean up dive a year at this spot and he says there is a noticeable difference in the amount of garbage compared to when he first started; Now he has to go further out and along to find the garbage.
