Comments
Came across a fishing line with several hooks that had been broken from the fisherman's pole. 3 fish were hooked in all. 1 was already dead. 2 were alive. One species was a variety of pufferfish. The other I am not sure of, but both were releases and swam away. (i will edit later with a link to the video)
Additional Information
Was there any event that could have contributed to the documented debris?
Most of the things I found was random and rather old. My guess is the rough surf over the past week shifted the bottom up quite a bit.
What was the most unusual item found?
Tom/Jerry doll
What were the most problematic debris items in your location?
