Additional Information
No. I had expected to find much more "new" debris after so many weeks of high waves and typhoons, but most of what i found was debris that has been in the ocean for quite some time.
Bed. The foam pieces I brought out was the foam padding that came from a full sized mattress. I found the mattress cover and sheet around the next boulder. It was all too much for me to manage so I am going back tomorrow with equipment enough to remove them
