Comments and Feedback
It was hard to estimate the weight and number of items since we had to hurry to get any critters still in the trash out. That is why the count is not as accurate as it could have been. We felt that it was more important to get the fish and crayfish back in the water. In total, we collected twelve of the trash cans pictured full plus the items that did not fit in the bins, e.g. a go-kart seat. Our collection was spread over twelve dives over several days.
