Additional Information
Not aware of any particular event, but all of this came from the same debris field I have been doing recon on for weeks and removed from previously. In total there is probably close to 500kg of cloth/net wrapped around this pipe in this area. Most if not all of it has been there for quite some time.
Fishing lure hung up in the nets. The local elders that were so interested in what I was doing quickly came over after dragging that mass ashore to claim it
Comments and Feedback
I hope to see all of the recorded data I have posted reflected on the World Action map. So far, only 1 of 3 recordings are reflected on the map. This recording will be the 4th.
This was the day of the event I have been planning for months. I failed at organizing others, but succeeded in a small way. I adopted this beach and there is much work to be done. This was just a small step to removing all that is there.
